• Configuring CDC to Drop Wavelength #97 on Port #1 and having Loop Backs on MPO-8xLC Channels Ports allows to have a source of light to validate Optical Paths to all Degrees

MPO – 8xLC

• Changing CDC configuration to Receive from Degree A and Transmit to Degree B allows to verify Insertion Loss of MPO cabling between CDC and PP

• Changing CDC configuration to Receive from Degree A and Transmit to Degree C allows to verify Insertion Loss of MPO cabling between CDC and PP

OTDR Integration • Integrated into NCS 20xx Controller Card

• 1 OTDR per Degree – No Sharing OTDR amongst 4-Degrees • Digital – Bit Stream instead of High Power Optical Pulse • In Band – Take measurements directly @ 1518nm, no extrapolations

• Able to support: • Hybrid OSC & OTDR Operation – Continuous monitoring of fiber with OSC connectivity • OTDR-only Operation – During system turn up for faster fiber scanning • OSC-only Operation – For maximum throughput (e.g. SW Download)

• OTDR Sensitivity SW Configurable: • Central Office (0 to 1Km) – Fiber Connectivity check through CO Patch Panels • Raman Active Region (1Km to 25Km) – Check Insertion Losses and Back Reflection • Regional (25Km to 80Km) – Measurement Accuracy to detect issues w/10m resolution • Long Haul (Above 80Km) – Maximum Length spanning w/20m resolution

OTDR & OSC Operations

• Using TX1 of Near-End XFP and TX2 on Far-End XFP allows to scope the Top Fiber Left-to-Right and the Bottom Fiber Right-to-Left

• OSC flows Left-to-Right in the Top Fiber and Right-to-Left in the Bottom fiber

• OSC can run in parallel with OTDR scans on the span fibers

• Using TX2 of Near-End XFP and TX1 on Far-End XFP allows to scope the Bottom Fiber Left-to-Right and the Top Fiber Right-to-Left
