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.
