EOS-6000 Optical A/B Switch
DATASHEET | OCTOBER 2012
FIBER OPTICS
The EOS-6000 Optical A/B Switch is a high-performance solution for network
protection and optical redundancy. Packaged in convenient 1RU housing, this line of
optical switches provides an automatic or manual fiber switching function to protect the
network from inadvertent service outages due to up-stream optical signal degradation.
Each fiber’s optical signal power level is continuously monitored, as is an adjustable
optical trip threshold for each channel. If the primary fiber’s optical signal power level
falls below the desired optical trip threshold, the unit automatically switches to the
secondary fiber, thus eliminating the need for intervention of a system operator. The
EOS-6000 is capable of manual switching or can be switched remotely via SNMP
adding optical protection to many system applications.
