Reach Extension

Simplified Network Extension

The BTI 7000 Series provides an integrated approach for network extension with a full portfolio of amplifiers and dispersion compensation modules (DCMs) to address metro and regional network applications. These modules support DWDM reach extension or consolidated SONET/SDH/Multi-Service network extension when used in conjunction with the 7000 Series’ client service modules.

Features

Reduce Electrical Regeneration Requirements

Electrically regenerating a signal requires a number of costly components which very quickly increase the cost of a network deployment. Keeping signals in the optical layer allows for significant cost savings and greater operational efficiency.

Complete Amplification Portfolio

Pre, post, and line amplifier modules are available to deliver the complete amplification architecture for metro/regional applications ensuring consistent and reliable signal quality. Two families (S-series and O-series) of amplifiers are available, for low to moderate or high channel count applications. All amplifiers are equipped with an optical power monitor tap.

Ultra Compact to Provide Integrated Reach Extension Capabilities

All of BTI’s reach extension modules are designed to fit conveniently into the BTI 7060 or 7030 chassis. DCMs can be placed in the BTI 7020 passive chassis or the active chassis (7030/7060). Each one of BTI’s reach extension modules takes up only a single slot on a BTI chassis. This ultra compact design allows for easy reach extension even when space is at a premium.

Adjustable Gain and Power Control Modes on Amplifiers

BTI’s amplifiers offer advanced features like adjustable gain, adjustable power and low channel ripple. They can be used in constant power mode for single channel operation, or in constant gain mode for multi-channel deployments. Line amplifiers are variable gain to compensate for different span losses.

2 Families of Dispersion Compensation Modules (DCMs) Offer Flexibility

Standard DCMs support any wideband signal at any wavelength inside the C-band independently of the ITU-T grid used. A wide range of compensating distances is available to adjust the dispersion compensation to the specific link requirements. FBG DCMs use Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology to provide reduced insertion loss for specific wavelength configurations. Greater reach and lower cost is achieved than with standard dispersion compensating fiber modules.
