RAD PacketLight PL-1000IL - multiplexor

The PL-1000IL is designed to cost-effectively extend the optical link power budget for building long distance DWDM solutions. It provides amplification for a range of optical solutions, from single wavelength, up to the full C-band, and incorporates several types of low-noise Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs): booster, inline, and pre-amplifier.

The EDFAs are gain-adjustable and flattened, and have high optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR), enabling to cascade several EDFAs to form an amplified OTN link over long distances without the need for regenerators or for building ROADM networks.

The PL-1000IL is fully managed, configured and monitored remotely as part of the network, via optical supervisory channel (OSC). In addition, the PL-1000IL supports both automatic gain control (AGC) and automatic power control (APC) operation modes. The amplifiers can be tuned to the network needs and monitored by PacketLight's free web-based management tool or PacketLight LightWatch NMS.

In addition, the PL-1000IL can incorporate a mux/demux and an optical switch and serve in edge applications.

Facilitates an integrated optical layer solution by incorporating optical amplifiers, mux/demux, dispersion compensation modules (DCM) and optical switch.
