OTN 300-pin 10Gb/s Transponder with Integrated G.709, FEC and EDC

Menara Networks' OTN 300-pin DWDM transponder combines carrier-grade OTN G.709 and FEC performance into a 300-pin MSA compliant package.

OTN 300-pin is the only industry 300-pin MSA that can transparently carry a native 10G LAN PHY, SONET/SDH and Fibre Channel payload with a carrier-grade DWDM Optical Transport Network (OTN) interface without the need for bandwidth limitation.

OTN 300-pin offers G.709 compliant Digital Wrapper, Super Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Electrical Dispersion Compensation (EDC) for superior optical performance and management functions superior to those found in DWDM Transponder systems. OTN 300-pin is designed to interoperate with any Open DWDM line system that support 50GHz spaced wavelengths per the ITU-T C-band grid thus offering complete and cost-effective DWDM transport for SONET/SDH and Ethernet applications.

OTN 300-pin G.709 digital wrapper overhead and FEC functions are handled by the OTN Processor, which is integrated into the 300-pin module. The OTN Processor provides Operations Administration and Management (OAM) functions with G.709 alarms and Performance Management statistics.

OTN 300-pin supports the following main features:

• Compliant with 300-pin MSA
• Integrated OTN G.709 Digital Wrapper
• >6dB and 8.6dB selectable Net Coding Gain FEC for superior optical performance
• Multi-protocol and bit rate support for 10GE LAN, OC-192/STM-64, OTN and Fibre Channel modes
• Fully transparent 10G LAN PHY OTU2e at 11.09 Gbps
• GFP Mapper for 10GE OTN over 10.709Gbps
• ITU-T Full C-band Tunable 50GHz Laser
• True link BER reporting and Integrated 10 Gbps BIST and loop back functions for complete optical link turn-up testing
• OTN Digital diagnostics and alarm reporting
• Integrated Electrical Dispersion Compensation (EDC) with 80% wider dispersion window
