Project Information

Component code TN96WSM9

Ordering instructions: When placing an order, it is necessary to confirm the working band (extended C-band) and flexible grid configuration requirements

On site operation supports hot plugging, and anti-static wrist straps should be worn during operation.Pay attention to cleaning the fiber optic connectors

After the installation of VOA configuration, VOA attenuation calibration needs to be performed through the network management to ensure control accuracy

Two monitoring ports can be used to connect to a spectral analyzer for real-time monitoring of output spectra

After testing and verifying installation, insertion loss testing, port connectivity testing, wavelength scheduling function verification, and VOA function verification need to be conducted

Core Summary:

TN96WSM9 is a flagship 9-port wavelength selective switch combiner board for ultra 100G/400G/800G flexible grid networks in the OSN 9800 platform.It represents the highest level of technology in the WSM9 series and achieves two core enhancement features: 12.5GHz fine flexible grid and extended C-band.Together with the TN96WSD9 demultiplexing board, it forms a complete bidirectional wavelength scheduling solution.

Core values and positioning:

Ultimate Spectrum Efficiency: With a minimum slice size of 12.5GHz, it supports fine spectrum allocation for any rate business from 100G to 1.6T.Compared to 50GHz fixed grid, it can improve spectrum efficiency by more than 50%.

Extended C-band coverage: Operating wavelength range of 1524.50-1572.06nm, supporting high-density DWDM systems with 120 waves @ 50GHz, meeting future high-capacity transmission needs.

Refined power management: Each wavelength on the road is independently adjusted by 0-15dB VOA, which can remotely and accurately adjust the transmission power, optimize nonlinear effects, and balance the performance of each channel.

Intelligent operation and maintenance support: Provides 2 online monitoring ports and comprehensive alarm monitoring functions, supports optical layer ASON, and provides a foundation for intelligent optical networks.

The essential difference from other models in the same series:

The 12.5GHz slice granularity of TN96WSM9 is a revolutionary improvement, shifting spectrum management accuracy from the"extensive" 50GHz to the"refined" 12.5GHz.At the same time, expanding C-band support enables it to cover high-density systems up to 120 waves, making it a truly future oriented next-generation WSM9 board.

Application suggestion:

This board is the core component of the OSN 9800 wavelength division system for over 100G flexible grid networks, especially suitable for scenarios that require fine spectrum management, multi rate hybrid transmission, and large capacity business aggregation, such as backbone network core nodes, large data center interconnection hubs, next-generation ROADM nodes, etc. When deploying, it is necessary to combine the iMaster NCE intelligent control system to achieve automated operation and maintenance of the optical layer and dynamic management of spectrum resources. For existing networks that still use fixed grids, TN12WSM9/TN13WSM9 is a more cost-effective choice.
