OC-12 Path Switched Rings
2
The DDM-2000 OC-12 Multiplexer provides STS-1/STS-3c level path protection
switched ring capability. As shown in Figure 2-2, it provides transport of 12 DS3s,
12 EC-1s, 4 OC-3cs, or a mixture with path switching at the STS-1 level (STS-3c
level for OC-3c traffic). Such a ring provides an economical, flexible, and reliable
solution for loop feeder networks.
