TN17LTXT51 Is Huawei OSN 9800 LTX Board
LTX: 10-Port 10 Gbit/s Service Multiplexing & Optical Wavelength Conversion Board
The available functional version of the LTX board is /TN11/TN12/TN15/TN17.
The LTX board is a wavelength conversion board and applies to coherent systems. In the receive direction, the board can receive ten 10GE LAN, 10GE WAN, STM-64, OTU2/OTU2e, FC1200/FC800, InfiniBand 5G, or OC-192 signals from client equipment, maps the optical signals into an OTU4 signal, and converts the OTU4 signal into a standard DWDM wavelength compliant with ITU-T G.694.1. In the transmit direction, the process is reverse. The LTX board can also apply to electrical regeneration sites to perform electrical regeneration of OTU4 optical signals.
The WDM-side service rate for the LTX board is 100 Gbit/s. Therefore, the board is intended for 100G transmission systems.
The LTX board is mainly used to achieve wavelength tunable and to provide OTN interfaces and ESC.
The LTX board consists of the client-side optical module, WDM-side optical module, signal processing module, control and communication module, and power supply module.
In the signal flow of the LTX board, the transmit and the receive directions are defined. The transmit direction is defined as the direction from the client side of the LTX to the WDM side of the LTX, and the receive direction is defined as the reverse direction.
Transmit direction:
The client-side optical module receives 10 channels of the optical signals from client equipment through the RX1-RX10 interfaces, and performs O/E conversion.
After performing the O/E conversion, the client-side optical module sends the electrical signals to the signal processing module. Then, the signal processing module performs encapsulation, OTN framing, and FEC encoding and outputs one channel of OTU4 signals to the WDM-side optical module.
After receiving the OTU4 signals, the WDM-side optical module performs E/O conversion, generates OTU4 signals over a DWDM wavelength that complies with ITU-T G.694.1, and then outputs the OTU4 signals through the OUT optical interfaces.
Receive direction:
The WDM-side optical module receives one channel of standard DWDM optical signals compliant with ITU-T G.694.1 through the IN optical interfaces. The WDM-side optical module then converts the optical signals into electrical signals.
After the O/E conversion, the electrical signals are sent to the signal processing module, which performs OTU4 framing, FEC decoding, demapping, and decapsulation for the signals and then outputs 10 channels of client electrical signals.
The 10 channels of client electrical signals are sent to the client-side optical module, which converts the electrical signals into optical signals and then outputs the optical signals through the TX1-TX10 optical interfaces.
The LTX board implements the regeneration of one channel of unidirectional optical signals. The wavelengths at the receive and transmit ends of the board are OTU4 optical signals at DWDM standard wavelengths that comply with ITU-T G.694.1.
The optical receiving module receives the optical signals to be regenerated through the IN interface, and performs O/E conversion.
The signal processing module performs decoding, overhead processing and encoding of signals. During the process, the reshaping, regenerating and retiming based on electrical signals are performed, and the signals are encapsulated into OTN frames.
After encoding, the signals are sent to an optical transmitting module. After performing E/O conversion, the module transmits OTU4 signals at DWDM standard wavelengths that comply with ITU-T G.694.1.
The optical signals are output through the OUT interface.
There are indicators and interfaces on the front panel of the LTX board.
OSN 9800 universal platform subrack: The LTX boards for transmitting and receiving the same wavelength must be installed in slots IU2 and IU4, IU6 and IU8, IU10 and IU12, IU14 and IU16.
