The Alcatel 10kV Compact Submarine Power Feed Equipment (PFE) is designed to power undersea repeatered cable systems that require very high reliability and control.
The Alcatel 1353 SH is a global element management platform that offers a comprehensive and flexible solution for operating, administrating, maintaining and provisioning SDH optical multi-service nodes (OMSN), optical multi-service gateways (OMSG), Integrated Service Adapters (ISA modules for ATM, Ethernet, MPLS), digital cross-connects, C/DWDM and microwave equipment.
The Alcatel 1354 SN is the network management solution for submarine customers, responsible for end-to-end configuration and monitoring submarine WDM optical paths. The user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) provides graphical representation of the system and the managed elements, and assists the operator with specific procedures to equalize the quality of the WDM channels.
The Alcatel 1620 Light Manager (LM) is a DWDM terminal for use in repeatered submarine cable systems. It can be used on systems operating at N x 10 Gb/s, either as an upgrade for existing systems, or as a terminal for new systems.
The Alcatel 1621 Link Extender (LE) is a suite of optical units for use in ultra long haul unrepeatered submarine systems applications. It can also be used for very demanding terrestrial applications when there is a need for a very long span within the network. These units extend the achievable span while ensuring that the high optical power involved do not produce a safety hazard. They comprise high power amplifiers and pump sources for Raman amplification and Remote doped amplifiers. The Alcatel 1621 LE helps push farther away the need for optical active repeaters whether undersea or in desertic areas. Therefore it effects both a significant reduction in overall transmission cost and a simpler network design.
Lighter and smaller in diameter than similar products, the Alcatel Fiber Optic Cable 4 for Repeatered (OALC4) Submarine Systems may be used at ocean depths of up to 8000 meters.
Alcatel Optically Amplified (OAL) Repeaters for submarine systems are designed to meet the needs of high-capacity Terabit-per-second traffic paths. OAL refers to multiple-channel systems for short- to long-haul applications within unrepeatered systems that span full transoceanic distances.
The Alcatel Unrepeatered Fiber Optic Cable 2 (URC2) for unrepeatered submarine systems is designed to ensure no strain is exerted on the fibers during normal operation. The cable features a welded steel-tube housing of up to 24 fibers.
Branching Units (BUs) are used in optical fiber submarine cable systems where multiple landing points are required. Connections can be achieved in the optical domain as well as in the electrical domain.
