Overview
The Fiber Driver® Optical Self-Healing Switch from MRV (EM316OSSH)
makes creating a redundant optical link easier and more affordable than
ever before. Designed to provide full path protection for mission critical
networks, the module is capable of automatically switching between
a primary and secondary (backup) link virtually instantaneously in the
event of a fiber cut or transponder failure.
As an all optical device performing no optical-electrical-optical (OEO)
conversion, the EM316OSSH remains protocol independent. It accepts
all wavelengths from 1260 nm to 1620 nm (including the 1310 nm
and 1550 nm bands), making it suitable for virtually any application
including WDM path protection. The module can provide 1+1 hot
stand-by protection in resilient point-to-point or Optical Unidirectional
Path Switched Ring (O-UPSR) deployments. Insertion loss is a maximum
of 5 dB per pair of EM316OSSH modules.
