Overview 2
The FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System satisfies a wide range of applications with
maximum economy and efficiency. These applications include OC-48
point-to-point, two-fiber bidirectional line-switched rings, hubbing, DRI, dual-wire
center architecture, broadband service transport, and loop feeder network
applications. This section describes how the FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System
meets these diverse needs with the following platforms:
â– FT-2000 OC-48 Dual Lightwave Terminating Bay
â– FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminal
â– FT-2000 OC-48 Repeater Bay.
NOTE:
The FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminal has been rated
discontinued availability as of December 31, 1999. Information
regarding the ADR Terminal will remain in this user/service manual
for those ADR Terminals still in use. The FT-2000 OC-48 Dual
Lightwave Terminating Bay functions similarly to the ADR Terminal.
For more information about the FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System platforms, refer
to Volume I, Section 3, "Platform Descriptions."
The FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System provides cost-effective DS3 transport in
interoffice suburban and outstate trunk routes. Up to 48 DS3 equivalent signals
(32,256 voice channels) may be transported over an OC-48 line at 2.5 Gb/s.
