1.3.3 Band Combiner Devices (DBC)
DBC devices may be used to scale the capacity of DarkStar networks by combining the bandwidth of multiple optical
networking systems. Using a DBC4, up to four DarkStar systems may be combined to create a total capacity of forty channels
or up to 400 Gbps of bandwidth. Total capacity is dependent on the model of optical networking systems and the number of
channels employed. The features of a DBC are:
1.
4-band and 6-band options.
2.
Supports ring (DBCd) or point-to-point (DBCs) topologies.
3.
Integrated OSC add/drop.
4.
Passive device.
