Fiber Optical Line Protection Switch (OLP), 5ns Fast Recovery

The optical Line Protection Switching System (OLP) uses a redundant optical fiber route as a backup path. We uniquely offer a high data rate of up to 200 gigabit and fast optical switching to reduce data loss with three choices of optical switching speed: ms to a few ns. By real-time monitoring the power status of both transmission and receiving in the working fiber, it can automatically switch to the backup fiber when the power value is lower than a user-defined threshold. This design allows the switch to operate independently without communicating, reducing reaction time. Moreover, our system has a built-in laser and detector to monitor the spare fiber line, ensuring its integrity at all times and sensing an alarm when a problem occurs. Our net-ready OLPs offer various reliable protection schemes against fiber cuts and network failures.
