Intermediate Reach OC-3 Interface (22F/22F-U/
22F2-U OLIU)

■
Optical Specification 
The 22F/22F-U/22F2-U OLIU photonics meet or exceed SONET 
intermediate reach specifications (TR 253-IR-1 MLM category). The MLM
*
 
laser transmitter supplies an NRZ-coded signal. The PINFET receiver 
allows direct optical loopback without the use of an external attenuator. 
The 22F/22F-U/22F2-U OLIU intermediate reach OC-3 interface supports 
span lengths up to 33 km, assuming 0.45 dB/km single-mode fiber and the 
span engineering rules outlined in Table 10-7. Transmit and receive powers 
are referenced to Points S and R as shown in Figure 10-2. Table 10-6, 
Table 10-7, and Table 10-8 provide detailed specifications and link budget 
information for the 22F-type OLIU. 
■
Alarm Thresholding 
The following parameters are monitored at the OC-3 interface. 
—LOS 
—LOF 
—LOP 
— Line AIS 
— B2 thresholding signal fail 
— B2 thresholding signal degrade. (B2 signal degrade thresholds are 
user settable in the range from 10
-5
 to 10
-9
 BER.) 
■
Line PM (See Table 10-3 and Table 10-23.) 
— Section SEFS 
— Line parameter B2 
— STS pointer justification (OC-3 R11.0 and later)
— STS-1 Path PM. (See Table 10-3 and Table 10-23.) 
* A higher quality SLM laser may be used instead of an MLM laser.
