Wavelength conversion · technical draft

Network signal wavelength converters

Client-to-line optical wavelength conversion for multiple SDH and Ethernet rates.

  • 155 Mb/s to 11.1 Gb/s listed rate options
  • 1260-1620 nm client input coverage
  • LC/PC optical connections

Select the protocol and data rate before choosing the converter. The listed line wavelengths and receiver sensitivities belong to individual rate options; a band range is not a promise of user tuning.

Configuration options

Each row is a separate configuration. Limits from different rows must not be combined.

Conditions and configuration notes

  • The headline description rounds the upper rate to 10 Gb/s; the detailed table separately lists 10.3, 9.953, 11.1 and 10.7 Gb/s.
  • Receiver-sensitivity bit-error ratios and protocol conditions are not stated for these entries.

Applications to discuss

  • Client-to-DWDM network interfaces
  • Long-span optical links
