10 Gb/s TRANSCEIVER OPTICS CARD

(L4-15, L4-13)

The 10Gb/s Optical Transceiver card performs both E/O and O/E conversions for the OTS system. It is available with two laser options, 1310nm or 1550nm. The 1310nm Optical Transceiver consists of a 1310nm laser combined with a broadband Receiver. The 1550nm Optical Transceiver consists of a 1550nm laser combined with a broadband Receiver. The Optics transceiver card works in conjunction with the Transmit card which contains all of the transmit functionality for the OTS system. The Optics transceiver card also works in conjunction with the Receive card, which contains all of the receiver functionality and analysis capability for the OTS system.

Figure B-1 shows the Transceiver Optics card front panels.

Module OK

The Module OK LED should be green while the instrument is running. On power up, the LED first lights red, then changes to green when the system has finished initializing.

NOTE: If the LED remains red after the system has finished initializing or fails to light at all, call Tek service.

Optical OUT

The Optical Output emits an optical data signal at a wavelength of 1310nm or 1550nm. The optical connector can be configured with field interchangeable shells; FC (standard), ST, or SC type. The field interchangeable shells are easily removed to allow easy cleaning of the connector interface.

The LED found above the Optical OUT heading flashes amber for five seconds and turns green when the laser is actived.

NOTE: If the LED flashes red, continues to flash amber, or fails to light at all, call Tektronix for service.

WARNING: Always avoid exposure to the laser beam. Before power is applied to the OTS9100 system, be sure that all laser outputs are either covered with the screw cap provided or connected to

the appropriate circuit.
