2-2 OTS9100 User Manual
10Gb/s Transceiver Optics
The 10Gb/s Transceiver is available with two laser options, 1310
nm and 1550 nm. The 1310 nm Optical Transceiver consists of a
1310 nm Transmitter combined with a broad band Receiver. The
1550 nm Optical Transceiver consists of a 1550 nm Transmitter
combined with a broad band Receiver
Figure 2-2 shows the Transceive card with 1310 nm laser front
panel.
The front panel of the Transceiver card has optical inputs and
outputs, a laser lockout feature, and LED monitoring lights. Each
of these items is described in more detail below.
Module OK
The Module OK LED should be green while the instrument is
running. On power up, the LED first lights red, then will switch to
green when the system has finished initializing.
NOTE: If the LED remains red after the system has finished
initializing, call Tektronix for service.
The Optics Transceiver card of the OTS9100 module provides
all of the optical interfaces of the 10Gb/s SDH/SONET module.
Figure 2-2 shows the Optic Transceiver card front panel.
WARNING: Always avoid exposure to the laser beam. Before
power is applied to the OTS9100 module be sure that all laser
outputs are either covered with the screw cap provided or
connected to the appropriate circuit. Keeping a laser output covered
prevents dirt from contaminating the connector.
Optical OUT
The Optical Output transmits an optical data signal at a
wavelength of 1310 nm or 1550 nm, with the proper installed
option. The optical connector can be configured with field
interchangeable shells: FC (standard), ST, or SC type. The field
interchangeable shells are easily removed to allow cleaning of the
optical connector interface.
The LED found under Optical OUT will light to green when the
laser is active.
NOTE: If the LED lights red or fails to light at all, call Tektronix for
service.
