8 Port Multi-Rate TDM Multiplexer Module

The MICROSENS 8 port TDM family of modules are amongst the industries most flexible multi-protocol DWDM add drop multiplexers. These modules have the ability to multiplex any mix of 1 GbE, 1 Gig Fibre Channel, 2 Gig Fibre Channel, 4 Gig Fibre Channel, OC-12/STM-4, and OC-48/STM-16 up to to a total bandwidth of 10 gigabits per second.

These modules have eight client ports which can be used as inputs for these different service types. All client ports are software programmable and can be reprogrammed to a different client service in the field, on the fly, without any effect on traffic being carried by other ports on the cards.

This module comes in two variants, the MS430686M which also supports add-drop multiplexing (ADM) and the MS430687/8M which does not have ADM capability. The flexibility in these line cards provides the end user with a number of advantages.

First, enterprises and service providers can utilize these line cards without any need to understand or forecast the mix of different traffic types that will need to be supported in the future. Client ports can be programmed to the appropriate service type at the time the need for providing that service type arises. The flexibility of these modules provides the ultimate economy in wavelength utilization for complex applications that involve multiple service types.
