Datasheet Optical Cross Connect Applications OCC 96 Test and development labs Interoperability, validation and network simulation Customer Support Environments Data Center and cloud computing networks Highlights Non-blocking matrix switch Transparency - Fast switching time - Low insertion loss Protocol and bit-rate independent Supports 40G and 100G connectivity Protocol and data rate agnostic 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. 1 Datasheet Optical Specifications Physical Specifications Operating Typical Insertion Loss 1.5 dB Maximum Insertion Loss 2.0 dB Loss Repeatability ± 0.1 dB Dark Fiber Switching Yes Bi-Directional Optics Yes Humidity Cooling Air Maximum Switching Time < 30 ms Weight < 0.25 dB Dimensions < -50 dB Max Total Power Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) Crosstalk Operating Wavelength Range 1270 - 1675 nm Wavelength (WDL) Return Loss ¹ < 0.5 dB (C + L Band) > 50 dB Maximum Optical Input Power Single Mode Fiber, Connector 27 dBm LC Connectors Dependent Loss +10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F) Temperature Operating Relative Humidity Storage Temperature Storage Relative < 85% (non-condensing) -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F) < 40% (non-condensing) 25 mm (1”) clearance from external chassis vents Including one AC power supply 26.8 kg (59 lbs), onc DC power supply 26.1 kg (57.5 lbs) 438 mm (W) x 559 mm (D) x 221 mm (H) (17.25” Regulatory Compliances x 22” x 8.7”) [5U] 55 W FCC Part 15, Class A; IC, Class A; EMC Directive: Emission (Class A) and Immunity; LVD Directive: Electrical Safety; CE Marking; TUV CUE Mark (Canada, USA, EU); RoHS 5/6 Compliant; WEEE Directive: Wheelie Bin Mark; RoHS 2 Directive, China RoHS; REACH Directive SVHC ¹ Measured with APC connectors Ordering Information OCC0096ALUSN00A 96 port Optical Cross Connect with LC connectors, single AC power supply and network management module OCC0096ALUSN00D 96 port Optical Cross Connect with LC connectors, single DC power supply and network management module NC316-144RPSAC* Redundant AC Power Supply NC316-144RPSDC* Redundant DC Power Supply * Cannot mix AC and DC power supply in one chassis.
