Alcatel 1640 Fibre Optic eXtension (FOX)
Multi-protocol CPE
The Alcatel 1640 FOX (Fibre Optic eXtension) is a multi-protocol CPE (customer premises equipment) for optical access applications capable of delivering SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy), Ethernet, GbE, L2-VPN, IP and ATM.
Key Features
- The 1640 FOX may be connected to any standard SDH central office system using a point-to-point link, or directly inserted into STM-1 or STM-4 SDH rings.
- It operates at a range of speeds – 2Mbps, 34Mbps, 45Mbps, STM-1 and STM-4.
The Alcatel 1640 FOX can act as an ideal multi-protocol transport device between carrier’s and end-customer’s networks. Besides, allowing consolidation of different traffic patterns (TDM, ATM, Ethernet, GbE) into either segregated or shared SDH Virtual Containers (pipes), it performs edge functions such as traffic shaping, policing and QoS guarantees.
Applications
- Terminal Multiplexer and Add Drop Multiplexer in protected or unprotected linear links, rings or meshed networks for multi-service optical access
- Single fiber working
- Metro Ethernet services (p2p, L2-VPN, Internet Access)
Interfaces
- Network interfaces: 2 x STM-1 or 2 x STM-4
- Customer interfaces (two slots available each):
- 16 x 2Mbps (ISDN-PRA)
- 1 x 34Mbps
- 1 x 45Mbps
- 2 x STM-1 (S-1.1, L-1.1, L-1.2)
- 1 x STM-4 (S-4.1, L-4.1, L-4.2, L-4.2JE)
- 11 x Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX (ISA-Eth plug-in)
- 4 x Gigabit Ethernet Base-SX/LX (ISA-GbE plug-in)
Connectivity
- 32×32 STM-1 equivalent full non-blocking SDH matrix (HO/LO) in all configurations
- Unidirectional, bidirectional, broadcast connections
- Line and VC loopback
