18.3.4 Optical Performance for Single-Span Networks
lists the span loss for a single-span link configuration with AD-1C-x.xx cards, OPT-PRE
amplifiers, and OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E amplifiers. The single-span link with a flexible channel count is
used both for transmitting and receiving. If dispersion compensation is required, a DCU can be used with
an OPT-PRE amplifier. The optical performance for this special configuration is given for Classes A
through G (8-dBm nominal channel power) used without any restrictions on the 32 available channels.
lists the span loss for a single-span link configuration with one channel and
OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E amplifiers. The optical performance for this special configuration is given for
Classes A through G. Classes A, B, and C use 8-dBm nominal channel power. Classes D, E, F, and G use
12-dBm nominal channel power. There are no restriction on the 32 available channels. That is, a line
card, transponder, or muxponder wavelength can be extracted from the 32 available wavelengths. Also,
the optical service channel is not required.
lists the span loss for a single-span link configuration with one channel,
OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E amplifiers, OPT-PRE amplifiers, and ONS 15216 FlexLayer filters. ONS 15216
FlexLayer filters are used instead of the AD-1C-xx.x cards to reduce equipment costs and increase the
span length, since the optical service channel is not necessary. The optical performance for this special
configuration is given for Classes A through G. Classes A, B, and C use 8-dBm nominal channel power.
Classes D, E, F, and G use 12-dBm nominal channel power. There are no restriction on the first 16
available wavelengths (from 1530.33 to 1544.53 nm).
