Total Access 5000 Business Services Deployment Guide
Ethernet over Fiber Overview
Enhancing the Total Access 5000 to support Ethernet services aggregation is achieved by the
addition of the Gigabit Ethernet 8‐Port Line Module (GE 8‐Port LM). The GE 8‐Port LM can
terminate up to 8 GigE facilities, allowing a single Total Access 5000 shelf to terminate
multiple 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and/or 1 Gbps access facilities. The GE 8‐Port LM can be used in
conjunction with the existing EoCu and/or EoTDM services, allowing multiple business
service delivery methods to be provided from a single Total Access 5000 shelf.
In addition to sub‐aggregating existing Ethernet over Fiber (EoF) facilities, the Total Access
5000 and associated GE 8‐Port LM is capable of delivering new Ethernet services directly to
customer locations with fiber connectivity; supporting scalable service rates of up to 1 Gbps.
Further, Service Providers who have already deployed the Total Access 5000 for delivering
EoCu and/or EoTDM, new EoF services delivery can be added to the solution portfolio
without a lengthy and expensive standardization process thus improving the solutions time to
market. The NetVanta 8000 family of Etherent over Fiber NTU would be sub‐tended from the
Total Access 5000 via this new GE 8‐Port LM to deliver the Ethernet service to the customer
premises.
