These two products come together as an intelligent optical restoration solution for Headend-to-Hub or Metro DWDM links. The RAM-20-200-PSM (Power Splitter/Mux) integrates a low-loss DWDM Multiplexer and a 1X2 optical splitter. The customer specified splitter divides optical power between primary and protection fibers, providing a redundant optical link. The RAM-20-200-PSD (Protection Switch/Demux) incorporates a fast latching 2X1 optical switch and a low-loss DWDM demultiplexer. The automatic power detection and decision circuitry quickly reroutes the link to protection fiber in case of primary fiber failure or selects the better fiber if the power level is simply degraded, thus preventing loss of service. Both units feature enhanced set of power alarms that inform the operator about the health of the optical transmission. Value-added monitoring and control electronics allows remote configuration and monitoring. Both products are built upon the Confluent's proprietary G3-200 passive mux/demux component and provide unsurpassed specifications for insertion loss, flat filter shape, crosstalk and dispersion. The units have optical connectors for inserting additional optical equipment (such as EDFAs) in front of the splitter and the demultiplexer. Integrated power taps are provided for external network spectrometer.
