SWAV Interface adds Active VF Ports to Order-Wire
DPS' new SWAV Interface card provides voice and data connections for VF supervisory ports for repeater and terminal sites in a SONET network.
The initial applications for the SWAV card are with NEC
 |
| Flexible: SWAV Interface fits in expansion card slot of the FDO 1000 Order-Wire. |
SpectralWave fiber optic terminals, but the SWAV Interface can be used in any application that provides VF ports for order-wire and alarm/supervision.

| Ready to go: SWAV can be used in any application that provides VF ports for order-wire and alarm/supervision. |
The SWAV Interface fits in the expansion card slot of the FDO 1000 Order-Wire terminal. It provides two independent, active bridges. One bridge is a three-way circuit that provides a path to east and west routes for alarm system data through VF ports on the fiber terminals. The second bridge is a four-way circuit to adapt the order-wire and an FDO 3000 Off-Net terminal to east and west routes through another set of VF ports on the terminals. Net loss through the SWAV circuits is zero or -23 dB.
The SWAV resulted from a need that a DPS partner had. Now it is available to other partners with a similar need. Contact DPS Sales if you'd like further information.
