Overview
The Optical Cross Connect 96 (OCC 96) is a high-performance, fully non-blocking, all-optical matrix switch. It is designed
to meet the highest performance and reliability needs of the most demanding applications with exceptionally low optical
loss, compact size, low power requirements and fast switching speeds. The OCC 96 is protocol and speed independent,
and it provides a platform to support existing technologies such as 10 Gbps as well as a solution for emerging technologies
including 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps transport.
Network Bandwidth Requirements
Network equipment manufacturers, carriers and data centers encounter many challenges in keeping up with the
explosion of bandwidth-hungry applications such as mobile computing and cloud computing. These manufacturers
continue to develop high-speed transport equipment capable of increased bandwidth to support carriers and service
providers as they roll out new services based on next generation networks such 4G LTE networks and WiMax.
The MRV Advantage
The OCC is ideal for use in any testing environment to increase productivity and reduce capital and operational expenses.
Sharing expensive test sets and test bed infrastructure among many users minimizes equipment inventories needed to
support the test workload. Storing and recalling frequently used topologies, scripting configurations, and automating
tests increases lab productivity. Eliminating manipulation of optical cables minimizes the effects of cable wear and fiber
contamination on test results, which produces more accurate tests and fewer re-tests. Tests such as cable breaks or
port failover simulation, multicasting test patterns at wire speed, and simulating long-haul cable scenarios are easily
accomplished using the flexible mapping configurations of the OCC.
System Architectural Advantages
The OCC 96 switches data at the optical level, so it is not rate-limited by an electronic matrix as in OEO physical layer
switches. Active collimators with piezo-electric architecture allow system deployment in a wide range of applications
requiring the highest level of optical transport capabilities and characteristics.
Switching data at an optical level rather than traditionally converting optical to electrical and back to optical, eliminates
any interference with the signal itself. The technology preserves key aspects of the source, including frequency, waveform,
signal dispersion and signal timing. This OCC system transparency provides the efficiencies and flexibility of a physical
layer switch for test lab and network environments.
Advanced Network Management and User Interface
MRV provides a complete portfolio of management options to fit any application. The management includes a robust,
industry-standard command line interface (CLI) and an on-board SNMP agent. Common scripting languages or the onboard scripting API can further increase test velocity. PathFinder, a java-based graphical user interface (GUI) is included,
which provides a graphical interface for all ports and allows port mapping with a point-and-click interface.
