If fiber exhaustion is a problem, the 2000 Product Family provides several
alternatives for the network planners to pick from, depending on the specifics of
their application. If fiber is available, multiple DDM-2000 OC-3 Multiplexer rings
can be installed; or if fiber is unavailable or if the administrative ease of a single
ring is desired, a single DDM-2000 OC-12 Multiplexer ring can be installed. Fiber
exhaustion often occurs when customer demand for voice, DS1, and DS3
services grows to fill the OC-3 ring's capacity. If the growth has come from only
one or two sites and there is spare fiber in place, these high demand sites may be
cut to a new OC-3 ring without interrupting service. Alternatively, driven by fiber
exhaustion or evolution to customer DS3 services, the OC-3 ring may be
upgraded in service to an OC-12 ring. In this configuration (Figure 2-4),
DDM-2000 OC-3 Multiplexer equipment is co-located with a DDM-2000 OC-12
Multiplexer shelf to provide a unified VT1.5 path switched ring node with an OC-12
high-speed interface.
