OXC role

OXC is a fiber optic network node device, via optical signal cross-connect, the flexibility to effectively manage optical fiber transmission network, is the reliable network protection / restoration as well as an important means of automatic wiring and monitoring. OXC mainly by the optical cross-connect matrix, an input interface, an output interface, management control unit and other modules. Input and output interfaces directly connected to the fiber optic link were to be adapted for input and output signals, amplified. Management control unit by programming the optical cross-connect matrix, input and output interface module for monitoring and control, optical cross-connect OXC matrix core, which requires non-blocking, low latency, high speed and high reliability, and to have a one-way, two-way and broadcast in the form of function. OXC also free, time, and wavelength-division 3 types.
