3.3 TE-2020 Regenerator or Transponder
Regenerators are utilized in networks that traverse such a distance that they would require a regenerated
optical signal in a location midpoint between two nodes that doesn’t require any traffic termination points.
All traffic at the regenerator site is passed through, essentially boosting the optical power level to reach the
terminal node that exceeds the transmission distance of the optics used. In this situation, the TE-2020 sys-
tem can be utilized as a regenerator. Refer to Figure 3-16 for an example.
This same configuration may also be used to provide a transponder-like function, converting one signal
into another (e.g., OC-192 SR 1310nm to OC-192 ITU LR-2). Besides converting the wavelength, this
configuration is also suitable for demarcation purposes for OC-192c signals.
