EOS 6000 Optical A/B Switch
USER MANUAL | SEPTEMBER 9, 2008
Operating Environment
In order for the optical switch to meet the warranted specifications, the operating environment must meet the
following conditions for temperature and humidity.
1. Do not use the optical switch outdoors.
2. To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the optical switch to any source of excessive
moisture.
Temperature
The optical switch can be operated in the temperature range of 0°C to 50°C.
Humidity
The optical switch can be operated in environments with up to 85% humidity, non-condensing (0°C to 50 °C).
Do not expose it to any environmental conditions or changes to environmental conditions that can cause
condensation to form inside the optical switch.
Introduction
The Model EOS-6000 Optical A/B Switch series product line is a high performance solution for network
protection and optical redundancy. Packaged in a convenient 1RU housing, this line of optical switches
provides an automatic or manual fiber switching function to protect the network from inadvertent service
outages due to up-stream optical signal degradation. Each fiber’s optical signal power level is
continuously monitored, as is an adjustable optical trip threshold for each channel. If the primary fiber’s
optical signal power level falls below the desired optical trip threshold, the unit automatically switches to
the secondary fiber, thus eliminating the need for intervention of a system operator. The EOS-6000 is
capable of manual switching or can be switched remotely via SNMP adding optical protection to many
system applications.
