TN1u SDH Multiplexers
SDH Network Access
Facing increasingly complex demands for
communications and security, organizations
are looking for cost effective, reliable
solutions for managing mission critical
operations. The robust design of the GE
Lentronics TN1U SDH Multiplexer makes
it the ideal optical networking solution for
electric power utility, transportation, pipeline
and many industrial requirements.
System Technology
This powerful SDH multiplexer has a
modular design for ease of maintenance,
configuration flexi bility, and expandability.
The TN1U delivers the benefits of
the ITU-T SDH telecommunications
standards to applications previously
serviced by a mix of proprietary and legacy
standards based equipment.
The multiplexer provides redundancy
for critical modules, with guaranteed
performance over an extended ambient
temperature range of -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to
+140°F). It meets ANSI/IEEE Surge Withstand
Capa bility (SWC), Radio Frequency
Interference (RFI) as well as Zone 4 Earthquake
specifications providing secure performance
in harsh environments.
The TN1U is powered by 115 VAC or
24, 48, 130 VDC sources. Its built-in
test capabilities can save the cost of
purchasing SDH test equipment.
The TN1U can be custom ized to the user's
requirements by equipping each site with
specific modules as needed. New modules
are added to the product line, as market
needs dictate.
SDH Network Flexibility
Simply replacing optical transceiver
modules allows users to expand an existing
TN1U system to a higher capacity, while
maintaining their capital investment.
Mixed TN1U access networks of STM-1/
STM-4, combined with TN1U backbone rings
of STM-4 or STM-16 cost effectively distribute
telecommunications services, allocating
band width only where it is needed.
The product also has the flexibility to operate
with GE MDS or third party microwave radios
and higher capacity STM-n multiplexers.
Operations, Administration, Maintenance
and Provisioning (OAM&P)
The TN1U takes advantage of the inherent
network management capabilities provided
by the SDH telecommunications standards.
VistaNET NMS software provides network
visibility down to the individual circuit
level at all nodes. This facilitates remote
provisioning, monitoring, and alarm logging
of the network from any node. Vistanet
software operates on a Windows® based
personal computer. An optional SNMP
Network Manage ment System (NMS)
interface is avail able. Vistanet is also used
for system diagnostics and trouble shooting.
Visibility of all TN1U equipment, including
the 64 kb/s tributary units, improves
maintenance res ponse time and saves the
operator money.
