iOXC NxN SWITCH WITH POWER MONITORING AND AUTOMATIC CHANNEL BALANCING

The iOXCTM NNN (N=4,8) provides a solid-state, single-chip solution for a strictly non-blocking and hitless NxN switch with optional power monitoring and automatic channel balancing functions. The integrated photonic chip is based on Enablence library of proven, Telcordia-qualified, optical building blocks and planar lightwave circuit (PLC) integration technology. The iOXCTM NNN is actuated with electrical power based on thermo-optics.

BENEFITS
Hermetically packaged chip Input/Output fiber ribbons with optical connectors Electrical interface pins Optional control PCB and firmware

FEATURES
Strictly non-blocking 4x4 & 8x8 switching Hitless operation Multicast and broadcast Digital switch control Variable optical attenuator (VOA) array Power tap array Automatic channel balancing Low power consumption Fast actuation Small footprint No moving parts Telcordia GR-1209/GR-1221 qualified Customizable design

APPLICATIONS
Switching core in optical networks Reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexing (ROADM) Optical cross connect (OXC) Dynamic provisioning of optical networks

The iOXCTM NNN is ideal for intelligent optical networking systems aimed at reducing carrier operating expenditures (OPEX) by automatically balancing channels as wavelengths are configured, making it possible to remotely control network elements. Equivalent to 128 discrete optical components, the iOXCTM 888 includes built in VOA and Tap. It provides an efficient solution with dramatically reduced cost, size, and power dissipation. Custom configurations are available to meet specific system architecture needs.
