Overview

The PA- PL-1000TE is a CWDM/DWDM solution for connecting two data centers or back up sites. The device is an advanced, all-in-one optical transport solution, supporting up to 8 transponders with a flexible mix of industry standard protocols. The product integrates a rich and cost-effective feature set in a 1U chassis with low power consumption.

Encryption

The PL-1000TE-Crypto supports innovative Layer-1 optical encryption capability for 1G/10G/40G Ethernet LAN and 4G/8G/16G FC storage services.

Multi-service support

Multi-rate and multi-protocol mix of 8  transponders, configurable from 622M up to 40G.  Ethernet data (1GbE/10G and 40G) along with  SONET/SDH - STM-4/OC-12, STM-16/OC-48, STM-64/OC-192, Video - HD-SDI/3G-SDI (PAL and NTSC) may be supported simultaneously.

Enhancements

Optional integrated EDFAs, mux/demux, DCM and optical switch,   1+1 fibre protection and   bi-directional performance monitoring are some of the advanced features that may be configured with the PL-1000TN.

Recommended applications:

  • High capacity, low latency, secure data center interconnect (DCI)
  • Efficient connectivity for campus, ISP and enterprise networks
  • Upgrade of existing WDM networks to support 10/40Gb Ethernet and 16G FC services
  • Trading applications and synchronous data center replication requiring low latency
  • Distance extension for 40G data networks up to 120km
