IPIswitch

IPIswitch is a feature-rich, versatile, fully managed system for optical protection switching ideal for both digital and CATV applications. It can be used for optical path protection of both single wavelength as well as multi-wavelength systems, and is bit rate independent. A single optical protection switch module in an IPIswitch chassis at each site is all that is needed to enable full 1+1 optical path protection of a bidirectional point-to-point system.

• One 1RU high chassis will accommodate up to two hot-swappable optical protection switch modules.
• Each protection switch module contains a 50/50 splitter and a 1x2 switch to enable full 1+1 protection of a bidirectional point-to-point system.
• Complete path protection switching in < 10ms.
• Remotely and locally configurable and fully managed through SNMP and TL1.
• Full optical power monitoring of both client side, working path and protection path.
• Ultra-wide input power range (-35dBm to +17dBm).
• For applications in both 1310nm as well as 1550nm range (1460-1620nm).
