Functional Module Technical Description System Value

Optical layer multicast switching enables arbitrary wavelength multicast scheduling between 8 line directions and 16 uplink/downlink ports, constructing a colorless, undirected, and non blocking ROADM node core that supports any wavelength from any port to any direction output

The wavelength routing rule allows wavelengths that are routed from the same AM port to be multicast to any OUT port, but the same wavelength cannot be repeatedly routed from the same OUT port to achieve flexible wavelength scheduling and avoid wavelength conflicts

The wavelength down routing rule allows the same wavelength to be down routed from different DM ports, but each DM port can only receive signals from one IN port to support multi-point down routing of wavelengths, meeting the needs of multicast and broadcast services

Integrated EDFA amplifier with built-in EDFA for power amplification of upper and lower channels, supporting gain locking function regardless of changes in the number of channels, ensuring stable gain of each channel and improving system performance

Integrating EVOA regulation provides a dynamic attenuation range of 0-8dB for the on road wavelength to achieve precise adjustment of on road power and optimize nonlinear effects

Online optical performance monitoring provides MONO/MONI monitoring ports, which can monitor signal spectra, optical power, OSNR and other parameters in real time without interrupting business for optical layer performance diagnosis and optimization

Optical layer ASON supports automatic switching of optical layers, providing basic support for intelligent optical networks and achieving automated wavelength level business scheduling and protection

The port blocking function supports blocking the input wavelength of any AM port for easy maintenance and fault isolation

Core Value of Application Scenario Deployment Method

Colorless, non directional, and non blocking ROADM nodes serve as the core switching units of ROADM nodes, connecting 8 line directions and 16 local services to achieve arbitrary wavelength output from any port up/down to any direction, building a flexible all-optical switching network

The core hub nodes of the backbone network are deployed at the intersection of the backbone network to achieve flexible scheduling of multiple wavelengths and support dynamic guidance of multi-directional services, thereby improving the utilization of network resources

The large-scale metropolitan core ring is deployed at the intersection node of the metropolitan core ring, aggregating wavelength services from multiple directions to achieve flexible networking and rapid service activation at the metropolitan core layer

The data center interconnection hub is deployed at the DCI aggregation point, connecting multiple data center directions to support dynamic scheduling and multicast transmission of wavelengths between data centers

Optical layer ASON network nodes serve as core scheduling nodes in networks that require optical layer intelligence.Optical layer ASON supports automated wavelength level business scheduling and protection

8.Maintenance and ordering information

Project Information

Component code TN51MCS0816 (specific version such as TN51MCS0816A01)

Ordering instructions: When placing an order, it is necessary to confirm the number of up/down ports (16 channels) and the number of line directions (8 dimensions)

The supporting requirements only support related services and need to be used in conjunction with related circuit boards and optical modules

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

After testing and verifying installation, insertion loss testing, EDFA gain testing, and wavelength scheduling function verification are required

Spare parts management, as the core board of ROADM, is recommended to configure spare parts at critical nodes

Warranty service standard: The warranty period is 1 year, and technical support can be obtained through authorized Huawei distributors
