The PL-2000, a member of PacketLight’s Muxponder Family, is a perfect solution for simplifying the management and maintenance as well as reducing the overall cost of CWDM/DWDM solution. The PL-2000
significantly lowers the number of wavelengths needed for the CWDM/ DWDM network as well as the number of required filters thus reducing the size and cost of EDFA’s and the management complexity of the network.
The PL-2000 provides an efficient and flexible aggregation layer of multiprotocol/multirate sub-10G services into 10G uplink trunk thus reducing the number of wavelengths needed for a sub-10G solution by a factor of 8 on average. Increasing fiber utilization and spectral efficiency of data transport further reduces the solution cost and operation complexity.
With its multiprotocol and multirate support, the 10G OTU2 uplink can aggregate simultaneously SDH/SONET, Eth, Fibre channel and Video services, thus providing a perfect access platform for multiple clients’ needs and allows merging of legacy and new services transparently.
PacketLight‘s PL-2000 transparently multiplexes up to 16 client services into a single or dual independent 10G wavelengths, in an elegant, transparent layer-1, ultra low latency mapping to 10G uplink pipe without packet loss and with Enhanced Forward Error Correction (EFEC) suitable for extremely long distance amplified DWDM network.
PL-2000 is fully integrated with PacketLight’s WDM product family. The PL-2000 can be managed by HTTP/ HTTPS web browsers, CLI, PacketLight’s EMS or by any 3rd party SNMP system.
This solution fits perfectly:
• Service providers multi service access platform
• Transporting multi-services over long distance optical network
• Upgrading legacy infrastructure with new services
• Building efficient and flexible CWDM/DWDM solutions for Enterprises
• Fast deployment of servises pver existing OTN Networks
