TN11MCA8 Is Huawei OSN 9800 Spectrum Analyzer Boards
Huawei OSN 9800 Spectrum Analyzer Boards TN11MCA8 Overview
MCA8: 8-port spectrum analyzer unit
The MCA8 board has only one functional version: TN11.
As a spectrum analyzer unit, the MCA8 board provides eight ports, each of which supports spectrum analysis for up to 80 wavelengths.
The MCA8 board is used for spectrum analysis and power detection, and supports the APE function.
The MCA8 board consists of a 1x8 optical switch, spectrum analysis module, driver and control module, control and communication module, and power supply module.
There are indicators and interfaces on the front panel of the MCA8 board.
The MCA8 board is a double-width board (requiring two slots).

Description |
Basic function |
Provides eight ports, each of which supports spectrum analysis for up to 80 wavelengths. |
Detection function |
Detects the following information and reports it to the SCC board:
NOTE: The range of modulation formats supported by a spectrum analyzer board varies depending on the software version of the spectrum analyzer module. For example, some spectrum analyzer boards may fail to identify the 200G ePDM-e16QAM modulation format. To determine whether the spectrum analyzer board supports a modulation format, see the Mapping Between Fixed Grid MCA & OPM Boards and Modulation Formats of WDM_OTN. NOTE: If power deviation is more than 6 dB between the minimum-power wavelength and the maximum-power wavelength, the MCA8 board may mistake the minimum-power wavelength as noise and drop it. OSNR monitoring and power monitoring are not supported for Turbo WDM boards. |
APE function |
Supports power detection when the board is configured as a power detection unit in an APE pair. |
Optical-layer ASON |
Supported |
