Optimux-106
Four E1 or T1 and Ethernet or Data
over Fiber Multiplexers
The Optimux-108 multiplexer transports four E1
channels and optional Ethernet or high speed
data traffic over a fiber optic link. The
Optimux-106 transports four T1 links and
optional Ethernet traffic over a fiber optic link.
A pair of Optimux-108 or Optimux-106 units
offers easy low cost connectivity for distances up
to 120 km (74.5 miles).
Redundancy options
An optional secondary link provides backup using
automatic switchover upon link failure, and an
optional secondary power supply provides power
redundancy and fail-safe operation.
The Optimux transmits each of the E1 or T1
signals independently, so that the clock of each
E1 or T1 channel works independently from the
clock of other E1 or T1 channels. The E1
interface can be 75 Ω unbalanced or 120 Ω
balanced. The T1 interface is 100 Ω balanced.
Various optical interfaces are available:
• 850 nm VCSEL for use with multimode fiber
• 1310 nm for use with multimode fiber
• 1310 nm or 1550 nm short or long haul laser for
extended range over single mode fiber
• Single mode over fiber option
Central site solutions
For central site solutions, the product can be
supplied in card form for deployment in a
modem rack or a multiservice access node.
The LRS-102 modem rack can work opposite and
manage 24 Optimux-108 or Optimux-106 units
(see page 153, LRS-102). This provides fully
transparent transmission of all types of voice
and data traffic, with an option to set each
channel to a different clock source. As an
additional feature for mixed environments, the
LRS-102 provides a one-box solution for
transmitting over copper modem, including
SHDSL.bis, alongside fiber.
A card version can also be provided for
deployment in the Megaplex-4100 next-
generation multiservice access node. When
installed in the Megaplex-4100, the product
offers an aggregation and cross connect solution
of E1/T1 and Ethernet traffic over SDH/SONET, IP
or any other interface (see page 86).
Management options
For all product options, configuration, monitoring
and maintenance operations can be performed
via a supervisory port, using either an ASCII
terminal, Telnet host, Web terminal or an SNMP
management station. This is done via a
dedicated Ethernet port in the Optimux-108 and
Optimux-106.
The SNMP management supports:
• RADview for PC
• RADview for HP OpenView UNIX platforms
Standards compliance
The products conform with ITU G.703, G.742,
G.823, G.829, G.955, and IEEE 802.3. To
facilitate system diagnostics, the Optimux
devices feature LED status indicators, AIS alarm
generation, and recognition, and dry contact
closure upon link failure.
The standalone units are supplied in a compact,
half 19-inch 1U-high enclosure.
• Optimux-108 multiplexer for E1
channels and Ethernet or data (V.35)
over a single link
• Optimux-106 multiplexer for T1
channels and Ethernet over a single link
• Optional redundant wide range power
supply
• Multimode or single mode fiber
• Single mode over single fiber or WDM
• Range up to 120 km (74.5 miles)
• Optional secondary hot-swappable link
provides automatic backup
• Management via an ASCII terminal, Web
terminal or SNMP
• Card version for the LRS-102 modem
rack or the Megaplex-4100
