Table 3: Detailed Function Explanation

Functional Module Technical Description System Value

Low insertion loss multiplexing and demultiplexing of extended C-band or C+L band main optical signals through main optical channel multiplexing and demultiplexing to achieve efficient coupling of optical signals between fiber optic lines and equipment interiors

OSC channel processing combines and splits the optical monitoring channel, ensuring the independence and reliability of the out of band monitoring channel independent of the main optical channel transmission, and achieving uninterrupted business network management communication

Integrated online optical power monitoring with built-in photoelectric detectors, real-time monitoring of input/output optical power of LINE/SYS ports, and reporting to network management to grasp the optical power of each port without the need for external instruments, assisting in fault diagnosis and performance trend analysis

Variable Optical Attenuation (VOA) integrated VOA unit, software adjustable LINE OUT port output optical power, adjustable range of 0-15dB to achieve remote fine adjustment of line power, optimize nonlinear effects, and improve system performance margin

High isolation design provides excellent isolation characteristics between the main optical channel and OSC channel, as well as between each port, to prevent channel crosstalk and ensure signal quality

The MON port monitoring coupling couples 1%~5% of the signal to the MON port through a splitter, which does not affect the main optical channel and provides a permanent online monitoring point for spectral analysis and optical performance measurement

Project Information

Component code TN97ILL (specific versions such as TN97ILL01 may correspond to different frequency bands)

Ordering instructions: When placing an order, it is necessary to specify the operating band (C-band/C+L-band) and VOA 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

The output power of MON port is about 2% of the total signal.When using external instruments, it is necessary to ensure the input range

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

After testing and verifying installation, insertion loss testing, VOA function testing, OSC channel connectivity testing, and optical power monitoring accuracy verification are required

Spare parts management, as a key board in the intelligent optical layer, is recommended to configure spare parts at network critical nodes
