The Juniper Networks TCX1000-RDM20 is a standalone 20-port programmable optical
add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) with removable AC or DC power supplies and cooling
fans.
The TCX1000-RDM20 provides:
Route and select wavelength selective switching (WSS) with 20 node-side universal
ports
Integrated erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) line amplification
Integrated spectral and total power monitoring
Integrated Ethernet optical supervisory channel (OSC)
The 20 universal ports are used for:
Direct add/drop of channels on to the network. This provides single direction, colorless
mux/demux ports.
Connection to external mux/demux common ports (such as the 96-channel fixed
mux/demux module). This allows the external mux/demux to be used to multiply the
ports on the TCX1000-RDM20. See the
page 93 for more information.
Connection to external mux/demux common ports on the TCX1000-2D8CMD module.
This allows the external mux/demux to be used to multiply the ports on the
TCX1000-RDM20. See the
information.
Connection to other TCX1000-RDM20 to form multi-degree switching nodes.
