uxWDM Transponders

A transponder receives a data signal at the client port. This data signal is

usually an optical signal and the transponder converts it to an electrical data

stream which it then processes and regenerates. It then converts it back to an

optical xWDM (coarse or dense wavelength division multiplexing) signal which is

presented on the line port. This conversion process is commonly referred to as

OEO (optical to electrical to optical) conversion.

WDM Muxponders

Where a transponder is a “one in one out” module, a muxponder receives several

data signals at its client ports. Just like a transponder, a muxponder uses the OEO

conversion to convert the client input signals on to an aggregated xWDM signal.

This aggregation process is a useful way to conserve wavelengths in a WDM

network.

Combining Transponders and Muxponders

Transponders and muxponders can be used in combination when building an xWDM

network. Or with an embedded xWDM signal on the same system. The number of line

signals has to be less than or equal to the number of ports on the xWDM multiplexer.

Transponders and muxponders are sometimes favored over an embedded xWDM

transceiver if a switch vendor doesn’t support DWDM transceivers. Or if a carrier

needs to present a client signal to its users instead of a DWDM signal.

Transponders and MuxpondersTransponders and muxponders share the task of converting short-range optical signals from, for example, a Fibre Channel or IP switch into long-range xWDM signals.

10G, 40G, 100G transport

Corporate IT managers face the challenge of efficiently transporting 10, 40 and 100G traffic. The dilemma: Higher speed switches are needed to reduce the overall IT operational costs but those connections are often prohibitively expensive and complicated.

Smartoptics T-99xx family is a scalable 1U platform that addresses this problem by taking industry standard 10, 40 and100G interfaces and transporting them via a DWDM network between geographically separated sites. This approach significantly improves the efficiency of the network and boosts the ROI of a dark fiber network.

Mission critical data – SAN connectivity

Fibre Channel tends to be the technology of choice for mission critical data. Smartoptics T-1608 offers a convenient solution to connect all Fibre Channel speeds up to Gen5 as well 10G Ethernet. Our platform is certified and approved by Brocade and the major system OEMs. And is interoperable with Cisco’s MDS platform. This scalable 1U platform can be easily combined with other transponders and muxponders depending on each network’s individual requirements to deliver specific SAN or WAN traffic over a fiber network.

Security, encryption

Smartoptics transponders support Layer 1 encryption to keep data safe when interconnecting datacenters. Industry standard protocols such as GCM-AES-256 (advanced encryption standard), Diffie Hellman Key exchange, secured key distribution, FIPS 140-2 and Suite B CNSSP-15 Cryptography, ensure the highest level of security for your data. In short, data is in safe hands with Smartoptics networking solutions. Encryption is supported by the T-1608 for 8G/10G/16G Fibre Channel as well as 1G/10G Ethernet.

Solutions for every network requirementTransponders and muxponders share the task of converting short-range optical signals from, for example, a Fibre Channel or IP switch into long-range xWDM signals.

WITH A TRANSPONDERLong haul connectivity

Smartoptics transponders and muxponders handle long-haul transmission by supporting the industry standard optical transport network (OTN) protocol. In supporting this standard, the family can be used to interface with legacy DWDM networks. OTN networks support forward error correction (FEC) extending the transmission distances to hundreds or thousands of kilometers and offer a convenient technology to aggregate data-streams.

Muxponders for all traffic

Using a DWDM wavelength for multiple lower speed protocols is a better utilization of available DWDM channels and reduces the cost of optical transport. The T-4920 offers transparent aggregation of up to 16 multi-protocol sub 10G services onto a single 10G wavelength. The T-9910 offers multiple 10/40G services on to a 100G DWDM uplink. And a convenient way to transport 40G over a DWDM network. Traffic types can be any mix of Fibre Channel, Ethernet, SDH/SONET, and video services. New or old.
