ADVA 0068200013 FSP150/FSP2000/FSP3000 DWDM optical transmission Optical Transmission Module

The ADVA 0068200013 is an optical protection switch module with an integrated optical supervisory channel (OSC), a line-protection card for ADVA’s FSP2000/FSP3000 metro DWDM transport platform. It monitors the optical line and automatically switches traffic onto a protect fibre path if the working path degrades or fails, while the built-in OSC carries the low-bandwidth management and monitoring traffic that lets the far-end shelf and the network management system see the health of the link independently of the traffic-carrying DWDM wavelengths. Optical protection of this kind is typically deployed on ring or linear-protected DWDM routes where fibre cuts or amplifier failures need to be handled automatically rather than manually. A genuine protection switch module is a routine requirement for restoring automatic protection on an existing link or adding it to a previously unprotected route. Specifiers should confirm exact shelf and line configuration compatibility before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks ADVA components to support ongoing optical network maintenance projects. Please contact our sales team for current stock and pricing.
