The Siemens OIS16 (1300nm) is an optical interface card for Siemens SMA-series SDH synchronous multiplexers, fitted with a 1300nm optical interface. It provides the optical line connection for the multiplexer, converting the shelf’s SDH line signal to light in the 1300nm (1310nm) window used for single-mode fibre links.
Siemens built the SMA range as terminal and add-drop multiplexers for operator transmission networks, and each shelf takes plug-in interface cards chosen to suit the line rate and fibre type of the link. The 1300nm window suits short and intermediate reach spans on standard single-mode fibre.
Many SMA shelves remain in service on SDH networks that have not moved to packet transport, and a like-for-like interface card is the quickest way to restore a failed span. Match the card designation and wavelength with the unit being replaced. Tech-Star supplies the Siemens OIS16 new and refurbished for engineers maintaining SMA transmission networks.
