TNCS-O: Shelf Controller with Integrated OTDR/OSC

• NCS2K shelf controller: compatible with M15 and M6

• Supports up to 2 Optical Service Channel Termination

with embedded OTDR Capabilities

• Supports USB Management through the ECU

The OTDR behaves like a ”radar” in the optical domain.

• A probe optical pulse is launched from one fiber’s end

• the resulting back-scattered light is measured against time (or distance from source).

The measurement provides:

• Fiber length

• Fiber type (att. Slope)

• Position and loss / reflections of optical connectors

• Position and loss of splices

• “Visual feedback” of any concentrated event.

OTDR Basics

TNCS-O W/Integrated OTDR/OSC

• NCS 2015 supports 2x Node Controller Line Cards (TNCS-O)

• Each TNCS-O Line Card supports 2x OTDR/OSC ports

• 1 OTDR per Degree with up to 4 Degrees per NCS 2015 chassis – Dedicated OTDR

• Digital – Bit Stream instead of High Power Optical Pulse

• In Band – Take measurements directly @ 1518nm, no extrapolations

• Bi-directional operation – Tests both fibers and both directions of the fiber with a single device

NODE A

OTDR & OSC Operations

• Using TX of Near-End XFP and TX on Far-End

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 – will be available with Hybrid Mode

NODE B

OTDR Integration Details • Operates In Band @ 1518nm

• Bi-directional operation – Tests both fibers and both directions of the fiber with a single device

• Able to support:

• OTDR-only Operation – During system turn up for faster fiber scanning

• OSC-only Operation – For maximum throughput (e.g. SW Download)

• Hybrid OSC & OTDR Operation (HW Ready) – Continuous monitoring of fiber with OSC connectivity

• OTDR Sensitivity SW Configurable:

• Zone #1 (Up to 1Km) – Fiber Connectivity check through CO Patch Panels

• Zone #2 (Up to 25Km) – Check Insertion Losses and Back Reflection

• Zone #3 (Up to 80Km) – Measurement Accuracy to detect issues w/10m resolution

• Zone #4 (Above 80Km) – Maximum Length spanning w/20m resolution

• Expert Mode – User can manually set Scan parameters

When the OTDR measures a variation of Insertion Loss/Reflection

higher than threshold, an entry is raised in the alarm panel.
