Model number

• PC-1XGE-DWDM-OTN

Features

• 10–Gigabit digital wrapper with over-clocked G.709 framing
• Generic Reed-Solomon forward error correction (GFEC) and enhanced forward error correction (EFEC) to transport 10GBASE-R (10–Gigabit Ethernet LAN PHY)
• Reduced cost of deploying and maintaining the network due to:
  • Fewer optical-electrical-optical (OEO) conversions
  • Fewer optical amplifiers and regenerators
• 89 tunable wavelengths (channels) supported per DWDM-OTN module
• Link fault switchover

Transceiver type

• Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) module

Standards

• ITU-T G.709—Interfaces for the Optical Transport Network (OTN). The PC-1XGE-DWDM-OTN PIC supports two OTN extended mappings:
  • Supplement 43, section 7.1, optical channel payload unit 2e (OPU2e). This mapping inserts the original 10GE LAN PHY signal into a “digital wrapper” with overclocked G.709 framing that results in a line rate of 11.1 Gbps instead of the standard 10.7 Gbps.
  • Supplement 43, section 7.2, optical channel payload unit 1e (OPU1e). This mapping inserts the original 10GE LAN PHY signal into a “digital wrapper” with overclocked G.709 framing, but without the use of fixed stuff bytes, that results in a line rate of 11.05 Gbps instead of the standard 10.7 Gbps.

  See ITU-T Series G Supplement 43, ver 02/2008 for more information about OPU2e and OPU1e extended mappings.
