Overview ECI Telecom's Artemis is a family of platforms that accommodate a wide range of optical passive components for CWDM and DWDM, including Muxes/DeMuxes, OADMs, splitters/couplers, filters, and more.

The massive growth in data, video, and packet voice traffic creates significant challenges for service providers. Expanding the transmission infrastructure to accommodate more bandwidth requirements is essential. Wireline, wireless, cable operators, and competitive carriers all face several problems, including:

Adding more bandwidth using the existing fiber plant

Investing in new telecom infrastructure that will be both cost-optimized and future-proof

Reducing operating and maintenance costs

Responding quickly to new and unexpected traffic demands

Implementing new technologies without risking network reliability and using the same infrastructure

1 Introducing the Artemis

Introducing the Artemis Artemis

1-2 ECI Telecom Ltd. Proprietary 407506-2901-023-A00

To cope with these demands, service providers are looking for effective ways to expand their network. They have significant fiber plant used to provide customer services that are at exhaust or near-exhaust conditions. To reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) and increase profitability, service providers must offer both traditional and new value-added services. CWDM and DWDM provide cost-effective and easy-to-install and maintain bandwidth solutions that take full advantage of existing fibers. Since fiber optic cabling is expensive to implement for each individual service, a solution is to use WDM for expanding the capacity of the fiber to carry multiple client interfaces. WDM is protocol transparent and enables to carry different services, without interfering to each other, on the same fiber.

ECI Telecom's Artemis shelves are fully passive optical platforms that complement ECI Telecom's existing XDM®, AccessWave®, and CESR families for optical passive components.

The Artemis is designed with the most advanced filtering technology, resulting in lower attenuation, longer signal reach, and reduced total network cost. It supports interworking with any product that complies with ITU-T G.694.2 (CWDM) and ITU-T G.694.1 (DWDM) standards, including all XDM Mux/DeMux modules, AccessWave, and CESR platforms. The Artemis platforms feature low cost, high modularity, small footprint, and very high density.

Using the Artemis passive optical modules enables the customer to free slots in existing platforms (like XDM, AccessWave, etc.) for more active modules required to expand his network. This results in reduced total cost of ownership.

Artemis modules provide basic building blocks for the xWDM multiplexing system. It can be used in most DWDM applications, such as triple play, business connectivity, and more, mostly for access and metro networks.

Artemis Introducing the Artemis


Artemis Product Line The Artemis product line includes fully passive optical platforms that address all your passive optical component needs for all size ranges and configurations.

The Artemis-P product line is available in three shelf types:

Artemis-1P: compact 1U shelf with two single slots

Artemis-2P: compact 2U shelf with four single slots

Artemis-2PE: compact 2U shelf with enhanced slot configuration options

Each single slot in the Artemis-1P and in the upper section (only) in the Artemis-2P can be divided into two mini-slots.

The Artemis-2PE comes in a basic configuration of a quad slot. The quad slot can be configured as four single slots, or two double slots, or eight mini-slots. The Artemis-2PE is designed with high flexibility, enabling to configure the shelf with any mix of slot types according to the specific requirements.

The Artemis shelves can be installed in different rack types, including ETSI, 19", and 23". They are fully passive, don't require any power supply, and feature an extended operating temperature range of -5 ºC to +60 ºC that makes them ideal for deployment in street cabinets for outdoor applications.

Figure 1-1: Typical Artemis-1P shelf

Figure 1-2: Typical Artemis-2P shelf

Figure 1-3: Typical Artemis-2PE shelf



A wide range of CWDM and DWDM Mux/DeMux, OADMs, splitters/couplers, M-DCFs, and filters are available for use with the Artemis shelves. Most of them can be used in both shelves.

The passive optical components are available in four different module sizes:

Mini slot

Single slot

Double slot (only for Artemis-1P and Artemis-2PE)

Quad slot (only for the Artemis-2PE)

Features and Functions Artemis shelves support a wide range of features and functionalities for building an advanced cost-effective optical network, including:

Support of both CWDM and DWDM.

No need for power installation (fully passive elements).

Used with a range of optical modules, including: CWDM and DWDM OADM filters (1, 2, 4 channels). Fixed OADM modules. CWDM and DWDM Mux/DeMux modules. Splitters and couplers. Interleaver module. Micro Dispersion Compensation Fiber (M-DCF) – for 5, 10, 20, 30, 40,

80, 100, and 120 km.

All filters (OADMs and Mux/DeMux), CWDM and DWDM, include two monitoring points, which is extremely useful in the process of wavelength equalization.

CWDM Mux/DeMux also has an internal 1310 nm OSC port.

Mux/DeMux modules are based on flat-top technology, especially designed to support back-to-back connectivity, with minimal loss.

OADMs are based on East-West configuration, allowing network designers and users to use them as small Mux/DeMux modules.

Although designed for high density, the Artemis uses LC connectors so that adapters are not required.

Artemis meets the CE mark, a mandatory requirement in different parts of the globe.



Shelf Layout This section describes the layout of each shelf in the Artemis platforms. Artemis shelves have been designed to facilitate simple installation and easy maintenance. Live insertion of modules is allowed to support quick maintenance and repair activities without affecting traffic. The cage design and mechanical practice of all platforms conform to international mechanical standards and specifications.

Artemis-1P Shelf The Artemis-1P is a 1U shelf housed in a 239.5 mm (9.43 in.) deep, 443 mm (17.4 in.) wide, and 43.4 mm (1.7 in.) high equipment cage. The Artemis-1P features a highly flexible structure with a significantly small footprint. All modules can be inserted even when the shelf delivers live traffic without affecting it.

Figure 1-4: Artemis-1P shelf general view

The Artemis-1P shelf has a default configuration of two single slots. At the customer site each single slot can be divided, into two mini-slots, by using a divider bracket. The Artemis-1P can accommodate two single slot; or four mini-slot modules or a combination, or one double slot module, by removing the divider bracket between the single slots.



The following figures show these possible configurations. Combinations of single slots and mini-slots in the same shelf are possible according to requirements.

NOTE: Mix of single slot and two mini-slot modules is possible, provided the mini-slot modules share the same single slot space.

The Artemis-2PE shelf has a default configuration of a quad slot. At the customer site, the shelf can be configured into any configuration of required slots, using appropriate divider brackets.

The Artemis-2PE was designed with very high flexibility options, which enables each single slots to be configured as two mini-slots by using a divider bracket. Each couple of horizontal adjacent single slots can be configured as a double slot. The high flexibility of the Artemis-2PE means that any mix of mini-slot, single slot and double slot modules is possible.



The following figures show just a few of the possible configurations in the Artemis-2PE.

Artemis Modules Artemis


Naming Convention The Artemis system uses a very simple method for naming filter modules consisting of four strings. From its name, you can immediately identify the module functions.

Figure 2-1: Artemis OADM and Mux/DeMux naming

The first letter represents the technology: D = DWDM, C = CWDM.

The second string represents the filter type: OADM or MD = Mux/DeMux.

The third letter indicates the port density in the module: S = Single, D = Double, Q = Quad, O = Octet, H = Hex.

The last string consists two digits representing the first channel in the ITU-T grid. For example, in a quad OADM designed for channels 21-24, the last two digits are 21.

Only OADM modules use channel numbers. For Mux/DeMux naming convection is H1 to represent the first section (channels 21 to 36) and H2 to represent the second section (channels 45 to 60) of the DWDM ITU-T grid.

The following are examples of OADM and Mux/DeMux naming:

C_OADM_Q_55 - is a CWDM OADM module with four channels: 55, 57, 59, 61 (this is the ITU-T grid for CWDM).

D_MD_H2 - is a DWDM Mux/DeMux module with 16 channels in the second section of the ITU-T grid (Ch. #45-60), Blue section.

D_MD_40 - is a double slot DWDM Mux/DeMux that supports a full range of 40 channels.

Additional naming convections that apply to the Artemis shelves and other modules (beside OADM or Mux/DeMux) are as follows:

Artemis-1P and Artemis-2P stand for passive chassis, 1U and 2U respectively.

S/C-50 is a quad splitter/coupler module with 50% splitting ratio for Single Mode fibers. It can be used as a splitter or a coupler.

D_SP-99/1 is a dual splitter module with 1% monitoring port for Single Mode fibers.

Artemis Artemis Modules


CT_FILTER_1310 is a single optical supervisory filter for 1310 nm.

CT_FILTER_1510 is a single optical supervisory filter for 1510 nm.

RB_FILTER are Red/Blue filters that enable expansion of D_MD_H1 (16 first section channels) with D_MD_H2 (16 second section channels) to provide 32 channels.

M-DCF_xx is a Micro Dispersion Compensation Fiber. The last digits (xx) designate the compensation distance in km.

Passive OADM Modules The passive Optical ADM module (OADM) performs the channel add and drop function. ECI Telecom offers a wide range of passive OADM modules for Artemis platforms. Different OADM modules are available for CWDM and DWDM. All OADM modules can be installed in any of the Artemis shelves.

As a standard, OADM modules for the Artemis are offered with different numbers of channels:

Figure 2-12: F_OADM850_xx functional block diagram

The F_OADM850_xx module is designed to operate in an E/W configuration. The module has two sections (drop and add), each with its own line input and line output connectors.

The incoming line signal is applied to the LINE IN connector of the drop section. The drop function is performed by a 7-skip-1 bandpass filter followed by an 8 channel AWG filter that extract the channel signals from the LINE IN signal.

The dropped channel signals appear at the CHxx, CHxx+0.5, CHxx+1,... to CHxx+3 connectors (xx designate the first drop channel, the marking D designates the drop channel output).



The resulting signal after the channels drop appears at the EXP OUT (Express output) connector of the drop section.

The input signal to the add section is applied to the EXP IN (Express input) connector of the add section. The add function is performed by a 1 x 7 coupler followed by a 7-skip-1 bandpass filter.

The add signals are applied through the CHxx, CHxx+0.5, CHxx+1,... to CHxx+3 connectors to the coupler (xx designate the first add channel, the marking A designates the add channel input).

The resulting signal of the express input with the added channels appears at the LINE OUT connector.

In addition, - 20 db/0 dB splitters are installed at the drop line side and at the add line side, enabling the monitoring of the OADM line input and output signals. The drop line side monitoring signal appears at the MON - 20 dB IN connector and the add line side monitoring signal at the MON - 20 dB OUT connector.

Passive Mux/DeMux Modules ECI Telecom offers a wide range of passive Mux/DeMux modules for the Artemis platforms. The DWDM Mux/DeMux modules are based on flat-top technology, enabling back-to-back connectivity with lower attenuation compared to other technologies. With this configuration, minimal (if any) regeneration is required for the back-to-back Mux/DeMux connectivity. Mux/DeMux modules are available for CWDM and DWDM with 8 (CWDM), 16 (DWDM), or 40 (DWDM) channels. The 8-channel and 16-channel Mux/DeMux modules can be installed in any of the Artemis shelves, while the 40-channel Mux/DeMux can be installed in the Artemis-1P only.



The following table lists the Mux/DeMux modules available for the Artemis platforms.

Passive Optical Splitters/Couplers, Interleaver, and M-DCF Modules

Optical filters are used to separate or combine Red and Blue signals in the C band. Splitters are used to divide an input signal into two equal signals and couplers are used to combine two input signals. The Interleaver is used to combine two streams of 40 channel signals, each with a 100 GHz spacing, into one stream of 80 channels with 50 GHz spacing. M-DCF modules are required to correct excessive dispersion on long fibers. All these module and module types are required for various applications in optical networks.

INTRLVR The INTRLVR is an interleaver module that enables customers that have 40 channels to expand their system to 80 channels, with non-traffic affecting scalability. The module can be installed in any of the Artemis platforms and occupies a single slot. All connections to the module are from the front panel and all connectors are LC type.

Basically, the C band is split into two groups of 40 ITU-T channels, both spaced 100 GHz apart. Each group is offset by 50 GHz from the other. The first group has channel numbers from 21, 22, 23, etc., through 60, with channel 21 signifying 192.1 THz. These are also designated Even channels. The second group has channel numbers from 20.5, 21.5, 22.5, etc., through 59.5, with channel 20.5 signifying 192.05 THz. These channels are also designated Odd channels.

The two groups of 40 channels can be combined into an 80 channel system using the INTRLVR module. The following figure shows the front panel of the INTRLVR.

Figure 2-35: INTRLVR front panel


Interleaver: Operates as a 2 input multiplexer. This section has two input connectors, marked ODD IN and EVEN IN, which connect to the corresponding Odd channels signal (channel 20.5 to 59.5 in ITU-T G.694.1 grid), and Even channels signal (channel 21 to 60 in ITU-T G.694.1 grid). The resulting interleaved 80 channels signal is provided through the LN OUT connector.

DeInterleaver: Operates as a 2 output demultiplexer. This section has two output connectors marked ODD OUT and EVEN OUT, which provides to the corresponding Odd channels signal (channel 20.5 to 59.5 in ITU-T G.694.1 grid), and Even channels signal (channel 21 to 60 in ITU-T G.694.1 grid). The deinterleaver input connector is identified as LN IN.




Figure 2-36: INTRLVR functional block diagram

The INTRLVR module consists of an Interleaver section and a DeInterleaver section:

The Interleaver section, whose functional block diagram is shown in part A of the preceding figure, takes the two multiplexed signals with 100-GHz spacing connected to the corresponding ODD IN and EVEN IN connectors and interleaves them. The resulting DWDM signal with channels spaced 50 GHz apart is provided through the connector marked LN OUT.

The DeInterleaver section, whose functional block diagram is shown in part B of the previous figure, separates the optical signal applied to the LN IN connector in accordance with their wavelength and provides the resulting signals at the ODD OUT and EVEN OUT connectors.



M-DCF_xx The M-DCF_xx is a Micro Dispersion Compensation Fiber used to correct excessive dispersion (for compensation values, refer to M-DCF_xx specifications) on long fibers. The M-DCF_xx is available for several distance ranges: 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 km (xx in the module name designates the distance in km). The module can be installed in any of the Artemis platforms and occupies a single slot. All connections to the module are made from the front panel and all connectors are LC type.

The following figure shows an example of the front panel of the M-DCF_xx module.

Figure 2-37: Example of an M-DCF_40 front panel

Accessories ECI Telecom offers several accessories, described in this section, to help you carry out an efficient and optimal installation of the Artemis-P equipment in racks. If you need custom modification to standard items, contact ECI Telecom's support team or your ECI Telecom sales representative.

Fiber Spooler The fiber spooler is used to roll and store excess optical fibers. Depending on the spooler configuration, several hundreds of optical fibers can be stored (each stored fiber can be max. 2.5 meters (8.1 feet) long). The following figure shows a front view of the spooler.

Figure 2-38: Spooler front view



The spooler units are attached to the rack frame using the two anchoring panels on the two sides. Fiber cables are wrapped in a figure-eight pattern around the four storage posts in the spooler. These posts are large enough to accommodate a large number of fibers that can be part of a typical installation. The following figure illustrates the depth of the fiber storage area available within the spooler.

Figure 2-39: Spooler side view

Fiber/Cable Guide The Fiber/Cable guide is a dual-purpose unit that can be used for both fiber and cable routing. The Fiber/Cable guide helps to neatly route fibers connected between front panels of modules installed in racks into ducts installed on the sides of the rack. The guide also helps keep the recommended bending radius of the routed fibers to prevent fiber break or signal degradation within the fiber.

Routing the fibers through fiber guides cancels the load resulting from the fibers’ self-weight on the optical connectors. It also enables optimal distribution of fiber bundles in accordance with the location of the modules they serve, and comfortable module removal for maintenance or repair purposes. This fiber guide has a significant advantage as it features arched radius-keeping movable elements through which the fibers pass. If a module needs to be extracted for maintenance or repair, access is easy by releasing these elements and moving the fibers aside. After the activity, the fibers are returned to the radius-keeping elements. The use of Fiber/Cable guides gives an organize look-and-feel of the system, especially in installations with multiple fibers/cables.

ECI Telecom Fiber/Cable guides are available in four versions according to rack type and location relative to the equipment:

For ETSI racks above the equipment shelf

For ETSI racks below the equipment shelf

For 19" racks above the equipment shelf

For 19" racks below the equipment shelf



The following figures show the ETSI Fiber/Cable guide. The 19" Fiber/Cable guide is very similar.

Figure 2-40: ETSI Fiber/Cable guide used below equipment

Figure 2-41: ETSI Fiber/Cable guide used above equipment

These Fiber/Cable guides can also be adapted for use in other racks. The 19" guides can be installed in ANSI 19" racks using a spacer adapter kit. The ETSI guides can be installed in ANSI 23" racks using a bracket kit.

Above/Below Fiber Guide The Above/Below fiber guide can be installed directly above or below the equipment it serves. The same unit used for installation above the equipment can be used under the equipment simply by reversing its position.

The above/below fiber guide can be used to route fibers up or down the shelf. In applications in which it is installed below the equipment, fibers connected to the modules are routed downwards to the fiber guide, directed to the ducts on both sides of the rack, and upwards. The lower part of the fiber guide serves as a tray and prevents the fibers from falling down. When required to route fibers upwards, the fiber guide is installed above the equipment. In this case fibers are routed from the equipment upwards to the fiber guide and directed left or right, as required.



ECI Telecom offers the Above/Below fiber guide in two versions according to rack type:

For ETSI racks

For 19" racks

The fiber guides are very similar.

Figure 2-42: 19" Above/Below fiber guide

These fiber guides can be adapted for use in other racks. The 19" fiber guide can be installed in ANSI 19" racks using a spacer adapter kit. The ETSI fiber guide can be installed in ANSI 23" racks using a bracket kit.

The loading of a fully equipped rack is 7.35 kn/m2, or 55.35 kn/ft.2.

NOTES: Not all Artemis platforms can be installed in all types of racks.

This section includes a general list of the rack options available. The installation instructions for each platform include a list of the racks appropriate for that platform.

The installation instructions in this manual are written on the basis of an installation using an ECI Telecom enhanced rack. Some of these instructions may not be relevant if you are using a standard rack supplied by other vendors.

Before any installation plan can be completed, a site survey by ECI Telecom technical support team is required to verify rack accessibility and accessory compatibility at that site. If you are working with standard racks from other vendors, the site survey is also essential to determine what changes are required to adapt the rack to Artemis platform installation requirements.

All ECI Telecom Artemis equipment racks may be installed on wooden, concrete, or suspended floors, or suspended from overhead mountings. Some of these installation options are described in Installing Equipment Racks. If your facility uses a different installation paradigm, contact the ECI Telecom Technical Support team for additional information.

Preparing Cables and Fibers

NOTE: This section provides information for preparing cables and optical fibers. The necessary cables can also be ordered from ECI Telecom. For details, contact ECI Telecom’s Customer Support team or your ECI Telecom sales representative.

The main cables required for installing the Artemis include: Grounding cables Optical fibers Some of these cables are supplied by ECI Telecom as part of the Artemis equipment, while others must be prepared on site or ordered separately from ECI Telecom.

WARNING: Only qualified trained personnel may prepare the various cable types. Personnel must only use approved procedures in accordance with the applicable workmanship practice.


Artemis


Grounding Cables

NOTE: Although the Artemis shelves are fully passive, racks in which they are installed must always be grounded because equipment connected to power sources, like test equipment, may operate in them.

Equipment installed in racks is bonded through the screws used to fasten the equipment chassis to the frame of the rack. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a reliable low-impedance connection between the rack frame and the site grounding bus using copper conductors.

Make the connection between the rack grounding screw and the site grounding bar by means of a copper lead with green/yellow insulation having the same diameter as the power source input power cable or thicker, in compliance with UL/ETSI recommendations.

The end of the lead connected to the power source, as used in the rack, must be terminated in an M8 lug.

Route grounding conductors along the shortest possible route. Treat the bare portion of the conductor with antioxidant and connect a listed two-hole compression lug. If the lug is not plated, bring it to a bright finish and coat it with antioxidant before connecting it to the frame of the rack.

Optical Fibers Optical fibers can be prepared on site. Use only 2 mm optical fibers to connect to optical interfaces. For each optical interface, ECI Telecom supplies patch cords with mating optical connectors already attached to the fiber. Therefore, only the optical termination on the other side, which is installation-dependent, must be installed on site.

The optical fibers should enter the rack from the top, be threaded through cable guides running along the rack side rails, and end at the spooler unit. The spooler must contain enough fiber length for extracting modules from the Artemis shelves and for replacing fiber in case of damage (splicing repairs). When routing fibers, make sure to observe the minimum bending radius (35 mm).



Equipment Installation The following sections provide general instructions for the installation of the Artemis and auxiliary equipment.

The procedures for equipment replacement and upgrades are similar to those described for installation of the equipment, and when relevant, notes regarding live replacement or upgrade are inserted in these procedures.

The information appearing in these sections should be used in conjunction with specific site installation plans in the particular customer network. If you are interested in obtaining design or installation assistance from ECI Telecom Network Solutions Division’s Customer Support team or want to prepare a network installation plan, contact your ECI Telecom sales representative.

Preliminary Preparations The installation procedures provided in this chapter assume that:

The sites at which the installation procedures are carried out comply with the requirements listed in Site Preparation and Rack Installation (page 4-1).

The preliminary preparations specified in Before You Start/Safety Guidelines (page 3-1) have been completed.

Before you start, determine what equipment is to be installed in the rack by referring to the site installation plan, and note the exact position of each unit. To avoid errors, it is recommended that you mark the prescribed positions on the rack rails using a soft pencil.

Routing and Connecting Optical Fibers

In general, all optical fibers must be routed through the conduits running along the front supports of the rack in which the Artemis is installed. From the conduits, the fibers are routed into the spooler unit above the Artemis shelf and then routed back into the rack's conduits. From the conduits, the fibers are then passed into the corresponding fiber guide and connected to the LC connector on the particular Artemis module.

Connecting Fibers to Modules in the Artemis-1P

All optical fibers in the Artemis-1P are connected to the LC connectors on its modules.

Before you start:

Before installing the Artemis-1P shelf and modules, all optical fibers must be routed through the conduits running along the front supports of the rack. From the conduits, the fibers are routed into the spooler above the Artemis-1P shelf you are installing.

Obtain the site cabling diagram and the detailed cabling diagrams or tables. If internal fiber connections are required you also need the internal cabling diagrams for each platform. Fibers must be labeled according to the cabling diagrams or tables.

Before installing optical fibers, it is recommended to thoroughly clean their connectors using an approved cleaning kit.



CAUTION: Make sure that all the optical connectors are closed at all times by the appropriate protective caps or by the mating cable connector. Do not remove the protective cap until an optical fiber is connected to the corresponding connector, and immediately install a protective cap after a cable is disconnected.

The minimum bending radius of optical fibers is 35 mm (1.4 in.). Sharp bending of fibers may degrade the optical transmission characteristics.

The following figure shows the fiber routing for a typical Artemis-1P installation.

Figure 5-25: Fiber route for Artemis-1P installation



To route an optical fiber to the desired location on an Artemis-1P:

1. Slowly pull the fiber end from the conduit and route it to the spooler unit.

2. Wrap the required spare fiber around the storage posts on the spooler in a figure 8 pattern.

3. Insert the end of the fiber into the Above/Below fiber guide and pass it on one of the arched elements.

4. Bring the end of the fiber to the LC connector on the designated module. Leave some slack to prevent stress.

5. Remove the cover from the module connector and connect the fiber connector to it.

6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for all modules in the Artemis-1P.

NOTE: It is recommended to fasten the bundles of fibers with Velcro strips. Make sure to avoid stressing the fibers, especially while bending.

Overview The Artemis passive optical platforms can be used in various multiplexing and demultiplexing applications, including capacity expansion of a fiber to 40 channels, overlay of new services on existing fibers, single fiber application, and more. These applications add higher flexibility for customer, allowing them to consolidate and scale data, video, voice storage, and other services.

This chapter provides information about the applications supported by the Artemis platforms.

6 Applications

Applications Artemis


Data Services Multiplexing Carrier Ethernet Switch/Routers (CESR), such as ECI Telecom's SR9700 family product line, enable operators to build a Carrier Ethernet infrastructure for IP transport over metro networks and provide private and business customers alike with a variety of services in a more cost-effective way than do existing technologies. These services include very high bandwidth data applications, IP telephony, IPTV and VoD (Triple Play) with high quality of service. CESR platforms that are equipped with colored optical interfaces may transmit their data on different wavelengths that must be multiplexed in order to provide connectivity to the network, via an optical ring or point-to-point link.

The benefit of this solution is the optimized utilization of the existing fiber infrastructure. In the event that a wavelength carries a full 10 Gbps and there is a need for more capacity, the customer can add additional data cards that transmit the data on different wavelengths, each carrying 10 Gbps. This solution enables the addition of up to 40 channels or a total of 400 Gbps over a single fiber pair.

ECI's CESR platforms (like SR9700 or SR9200) provide a wide range of Layer 2 capabilities; the Artemis product line accomplishes its WDM capabilities, enabling the CESR platforms to connect to the physical layer.

The following figure illustrates an example of the Artemis application for multiplexing data services from SR9700 and SR9200 platforms in ring and point-to-point topologies.

Figure 6-1: Data services multiplexing

Artemis Applications


The solution can be implemented using the passive optical Artemis's Mux/DeMux modules in a 1U or 2U shelf. The Artemis platforms are unmanaged products and can, therefore, be added to any family of these products. Moreover, the Artemis components need no power supply for their operation, which makes them ideal for deployment in almost any site. The Artemis supports applications that require dropping or adding channels in different locations in the network. In such cases the Artemis's OADM modules can be used.

Adding/Dropping Wavelengths In many optical network applications it is often required to drop or/and add wavelengths at different site locations. The location (indoors or out), available space for additional equipment, and need for power sources all play a significant role determining a solution.

It is recommended to use passive OADMs when only several lambdas are needed and Mux/DeMux modules when a higher wavelength count has to be handled.

The Artemis, with its small footprint, high density, and no need for power, is the ideal solution for such applications. An example of using the Artemis to add/drop channels and enhance the xWDM filter offering is shown in the following figure.

Figure 6-2: Wavelengths add/drop application



The XDM on the left side carries traffic over a long span, using optical power amplifiers in its module cage. The link passes through a DSLAM site housed in a street cabinet (Site A). Several wavelengths have to be dropped and others continue from this site. The simple and cost-effective solution in this case is to add a 1U or 2U Artemis shelf in the street cabinet. Its OADM modules, extended temperature range, and lack of power source makes the Artemis optimal to handle this application.

A similar application that requires adding and dropping several wavelengths is shown at Site B that has very limited space. Using XDM available slots may be required in the future to house optical power amplifiers or other active modules, so they must be used wisely.

The preferred solutions in this case is to install an Artemis shelf at Site C, which has a small footprint and can accommodate OADMs in a high density, while saving slot positions in the XDM shelf that may be required for future expansions.

Another possible use of the Artemis is to increase the XDM filter offering. This application is shown in Site C. The Artemis shelf is co located with the XDM and accommodates different passive optical modules (Mux/DeMux, OADMs, CT filters, etc.) in high density. In this solution we can house many passive optical modules as possible in the Artemis shelf, sparing the XDM module slots for future optical amplifiers.

Passive Optical Modules Complementary Solution for AccessWave

The Artemis platforms provide a complementary solution for AccessWave (AW) family products AW-30 and AW-60 for CWDM and DWDM passive optical modules. The Artemis 1U or 2U shelves are unmanaged products and can easily be added to the AW-30 or AW-60 for passive components like Mux/DeMux, OADMs, splitters/couplers, and other filters.

Figure 6-3: Passive optical cards complementary solution for AW



Expanding CWDM Channels to DWDM

The Artemis supports integration of CWDM and DWDM channels on the same fiber, increasing the available capacity that can be delivered over the existing equipment and infrastructure. The following section describes the motivation for offering this application, and its practical implementation.

Some customers are using legacy CWDM equipment installed base and infrastructure to transmit 8 channels, in the best case. In other cases they utilize only a few of these channels. The massive growth in data, video, and voice traffic, driven by the increasing demand from business and private customers for higher bandwidth to support these services, generates major challenges for the providers how to handle these demands. They therefore look for ways to expand their network without the need for additional investments.

Another scenario may involve customers that have leased dark fibers connected to CWDM equipment that is only partly utilized, and they want to leverage their investment to supply more services over the same infrastructure without the need to replace the equipment.

The following figure illustrates the channels available for CWDM applications.

Figure 6-4: CWDM channels



The CWDM utilizes 16 channels spread over different bands, eight on the S, C and L Bands (right side) and 8 on the E and O Bands (left side). The eight right channels are preferred as they feature better characteristics in terms of attenuation and bandwidth. Typically, CWDM networks use first the eight right channels and then the left. As can be seen from the preceding figure, there is an overlap between two CWDM grid channels in the C Band (1531 nm and 1551 nm) and DWDM channels. The 1531 nm channel overlaps 10 DWDM channels (Ch. 51-60) and the 1551 nm channel overlaps 12 DWDM channels (Ch. 25-36). This means that by giving up these two channels, the network can significantly be expanded with 22 DWDM channels, while allowing the customer to keep use of the remaining 14 CWDM channels.

The practical implementation of this solution is shown in the following figure.

Figure 6-5: Artemis CWDM to DWDM channel expansion

The Artemis components provide an optimal and cost-effective solution for such applications. It requires the use of two DWDM and one CWDM Mux/DeMux modules. The 12 DWDM channels according to ITU-T G.694.1 (Ch. 25 to Ch. 36) are connected to a D_MD_H1 module and the other 10 DWDM channels (Ch. 51 to Ch. 60) are connected to a D_DMD_H2 module. A CWDM Mux/DeMux C_MD_O1 is used to connect the output of the D_MD_M1 at 1551 nm to the corresponding wavelength input, and the output of the D_DMD_M2 at 1531 nm to the corresponding port. In addition the other 14 CWDM wavelengths are connected to the C_MD_O1.



The C_MD_O1 also has a 1311 nm OSC input that enables optical channel management. The ratio behind selecting this channel, located in the left 8-channel zone, is to keep the right most channels (with the better characteristics) for data transmission.

Notice that the solution has a penalty, reflected in the fact that the output signal encounters additional attenuation by the C_MD_O1.

Single Fiber Application The Artemis supports bidirectional traffic transmission over a single fiber by smart utilization of the infrastructure. The following section describes the motivation for offering this application, and its practical implementation.

Regular communication systems use two fibers, one for transmission and one for reception. Although single fiber is rarely used, there may be cases that customers need to connect systems with a single fiber (due to the relatively high fiber cost in the past).

The following figure shows a regular communication system connected with a fiber pair. In this system we can transmit the same channels, for example Ch. 21 to Ch. 36, in both directions.

Figure 6-6: Transmission system with a fiber pair

When we use a system connected with a single fiber, we cannot implement the same solution. If we transmit the same channels in both directions on a single fiber, they will collide in the fiber and no signals will be received at both ends. If we choose to transmit odd channels from one side and even channels from the other, the wavelengths will be able to pass the media from side to side without colliding.



The solution is based on using the Mux/DeMux modules as filters, and the SFP transmitting and receiving characters. The SFP transmits a very coherent and clear color wavelength, while its receiver has a wideband character. The principal scheme of the solutions is shown in the following figure.

Figure 6-7: Transmission system with a single fiber

The even Channels 22, 24, 26, etc. are transmitted from left to right, and the odd Channels 21, 23, 25 etc. from right to left. For example, Ch. 22 is transmitted from left to right. The corresponding SFP in the right Mux/DeMux is set for channel 21 but is able to receive Ch. 22 due to the wideband character of its receiver. This means that, even though the SFP is formally intended for Ch. 21 it is able to receive Ch. 22. The Mux/DeMux provides a filtering function for the signal so that the SFP can separate the required signal more easily. Similarly, Ch. 21 is transmitted from right to left and the corresponding SFP in the left Mux/DeMux set for channel 22 is able to receive Ch. 22.

The above is a simple solution when no amplifiers are needed. In the event amplifiers are required, the solution is a little bit complicated as shown in the following figure.

Figure 6-8: Artemis single fiber application



The even channels are transmitted through the left D_MD_H1 Mux/DeMux from left to right. In the left section, between the output from the Mux and the fiber we have two branches: the transmit signal is amplified in the upper amplifier which also blocks the receive signal (in the lower branch), and connected to a coupler/splitter (C/S). The receive signal arriving from the fiber passes the left C/S, amplified in the lower amplifier, connected to a DCM, and enters the DeMux section of the left D_MD_H1. The transmit and receive signals must be combined in order to pass the single fiber. The C/S acts as a combiner for this purpose. The odd channels are transmitted through the right D_MD_H1 Mux/DeMux from right to left in a similar way. The path of the transmit and receive signals from the right Mux/DeMux to the fiber is also similar.

NOTE: Each C/S adds additional attenuation of 4 dB, totaling 8 dB for the link.

OADM Use as a Mux/DeMux The use of Artemis Mux/DeMux is cost-effective for applications with a high count wavelength. However, when it is necessary to multiplex low count wavelength (up to four channels), the use of Mux/DeMux grants a costly solution. A much better cost-effective solution is to use the Artemis OADMs. The Artemis OADMs are built in East-West technology and can be used as Mux/DeMux.

This has the following benefits:

The OADM is cheaper than the Mux/DeMux.

The OADM occupies less space (mini-slot) compared to Mux/DeMux module (one slot).

Holding a single type of module (for example, a 4-channel OADM) in the inventory for Mux/DeMux and OADM reduces the customer's OPEX cost.



The following figure shows the OADM used as a Mux/DeMux for up to four channels.

Figure 6-9: Artemis OADM use as a Mux/Demux

The add ports are used as the Mux input ports; the Line Out port is used as the Mux output. The Line In port is used as the DeMux input and the drop ports are used as the DeMux outputs. The Path-Through (PT) input and output are not used.

This solution is optimal for up to four channels. When more channels (for example, eight) have to be multiplexed, customers should add an additional OADM and use the Pass-Through (PT) ports.

NOTE: When cascading two OADMs, pay attention that the four channels of the second OADM encounter additional attenuation due to the PT ports loss.



Figure 6-10: Artemis 8-channel multiplexing using two OADMs

Back-to-Back Connectivity The back-to-back application is used in sites where customers need to open all wavelengths of a link. The Artemis Mux/DeMux is built in Flat Top technology that has relatively low attenuation and enables the implementation of the back-to-back connectivity.

The reasons for a customer to use this application may be part or a combination of the following:

Several wavelengths have to be regenerated at the site.

Several wavelengths are terminated at the site.

There is a need to split wavelengths to other locations.

Some wavelengths have to be demultiplexed and multiplexed again for network flexibility.



The following figure illustrates the back-to-back application.

Figure 6-11: Artemis back-to-back application

The application also provides a central control point that gives the customer high flexibility to implement future network changes. It has a significant advantage compared to the use of OADMs, as it affects less traffic in cases of changes or maintenance. This application has a penalty of the cumulative attenuation of two Mux/DeMux compared to an OADM, which is relatively lower.



Support for 32-Channel Multiplexing on Day One

The Artemis components support the upgrade of a 16-channel Mux/DeMux to 32 channels from day one without affecting traffic. The following figure shows the solution for this application.

Figure 6-12: 32-channel multiplexing support

The D_MD_H1 and the RB_FLTR are connected at customer's site from day one, in order to ensure future smooth expansion possibility without affecting traffic. The customer can connect the 16 first channels to the D_MD_H1 according to his needs. After all channels are connected to the D_MD_H1 and he needs to expand, he can connect the D_MD_H2 to the RB_FLTR and additional channels to the M_MD_H2.

NOTE: Ch. 37 to Ch. 44 are not supported in this application.
