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

optical 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.
