OLX-1000
16-Port Optical Switch
High-Speed Optical Switching Between Ports
The OptiLinx
™
OLX-1000 is a versatile, multi-purpose,
non-blocking transparent optical switch that provides high-
speed switching between ports with minimal effect on overall
network latency. The OLX series is capable of switching digital
signals up to 3.2 Gbps with any of its 16 ports, all in a compact
1RU chassis.
System Design
The OptiLinx
™
OLX-1000 is designed to accept up to two
modular port cards with up to eight Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) transceiver modules per port card. Each SFP
transceiver module provides the physical ports for one input-
output pair. Different types of SFP transceivers support a variety
of network configurations:
• Up to 3.2 Gbps per port
• 865, 1310 and 1550 Gbps optical media (contact Opticomm
for CWDM & DWDM wavelengths)
• Links up to 80 km
OLX-1000 saves space with an internal power
The
supply. The OptiLinx
™
OLX-1000’s controlling software and
non-volatile configuration data resides on the module.
Features
• Remote switching and multicasting using a Command Line
Interface
• Up to 16 ports in a space-saving 1RU package
• Full Duplex switching capacity up to 51 Gbps
• Hot-pluggable SFP transceivers on all port cards
• Port cards, power supplies and fans are hot-swappable for
maximum flexibility
• Provides point-to-point, multiple loops, and multicast
topologies simultaneously

Remote Configuration and Easy Testing
OLX-1000 configuration commands are sent via a 10/100 Ethernet
connection using simple intuitive command sets. With regard to
network testing, some of the most significant capabilities are:
• Automatic and Remote Reconfiguration and Fault Emulation
Quickly establish links, emulate optical power breaks with and
without path failures, make topology changes, and re-route
point-to-point, loop or multicast connections.
• Dynamic Device Testing
Through out-of-band control the switch can simulate faults; also,
the capability exists to identify improperly operating devices.
• Increased Resource Sharing Capabilities
Switched connectivity between local or remote facilities and
between devices without physically moving equipment.
• Cable and Hardware Diagnostics
Quickly isolate interconnect problems; investigate whether the
network can provide reliable data transfer over specified
distances without touching cables; and test hardware
configurations such as hubs.
