OMUX in a ring

OMUXs are also used as the hub site in OMUX-based ring applications. (For more information, see

shelf at the central site to create an east and a west fiber path. The east OMUX terminates all the
traffic from the east equipment port of each OADM on the ring, and the west OMUX terminates all of
the traffic from the west equipment port of each OADM on the ring. In this configuration, the network
remains viable even if the fiber is broken at any point on the ring.

Transmission distance

To ensure proper network operation, given your link characteristics, calculate the maximum
transmission distance for your fiber link.
