OPTICOMM OLX-3000

OptiLinx™ OLX-3000
4.25 Gb/s 144-Port Optical Switch
High-Speed Optical Switching Between Ports
The OptiLinx™ OLX-3000 is a versatile, multi-purpose,
non-blocking transparent optical switch that provides highspeed switching between ports with minimal effect on overall
network latency. The OLX series is capable of switching digital
signals up to 4.25 Gb/s with any of its ports. Both a 4RU 144 port version and 8RU 288-port version are available. For smaller
applications, see the 16-port OLX-1000 series.
System Design
The OptiLinx™ OLX-3000 is designed to accept up to three
modular port cards with up to forty-eight Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) transceiver modules per port card. Each SFP
transceiver module provides the physical ports for one inputoutput pair. Different types of SFP transceivers support a variety
of network configurations:
• 2.5, 2.125, 1.25 and 1.0625 Gb/s and 4.25 Gb/s link rates
available
• 865, 1310 and 1550 Gb/s optical media (contact Opticomm
for CWDM & DWDM wavelengths)
• Links up to 80 km
The OptiLinx™ OLX-3000 comes equipped with hot-swappable
power supplies, fans and port cards to allow users to quickly
replace parts without affecting system performance. The
OptiLinx™ OLX-3000’s controlling software and non-volatile
configuration data resides on the module.
Remote Configuration and Easy Testing
OLX-3000 configuration commands are sent via a 10/100 Ethernet
connection using simple intuitive command sets. With regard to
network testing, some of the most significant capabilities are:
• Automatic and Remote Reconfiguration and Fault Emulation
Quickly establish links, emulate optical power breaks with and
without path failures, make topology changes, and re-route
point-to-point, loop or multicast connections.
• Dynamic Device Testing
Features
• Remote monitoring and switching using Opticomm’s
LinxView™ software
• Up to 288-port versions available
• Full Duplex switching capacity up to 612 Gb/s
• Hot-pluggable SFP transceivers on all port cards
• Port cards, power supplies and fans are hot-swappable for
maximum flexibility
• Opticomm’s LinxView™ software allows the user to build
configurations by dragging and dropping ports
• Provides point-to-point, multiple loops, and multicast
topologies simultaneously
Through out-of-band control the switch can simulate faults; also,
the capability exists to identify improperly operating devices.
• Increased Resource Sharing Capabilities
Switched connectivity between local or remote -- up to 50 km -facilities and between devices allows testing without physically
moving equipment.
• Cable and Hardware Diagnostics
Quickly isolate interconnect problems; investigate whether the
network can provide reliable data transfer over specified
distances without touching cables; and test hardware
configurations such as hubs.
