Pair slots refer to a pair of slots whose resident boards' overhead can be processed by the
buses on the backplanes.
Interface area: The EFI board provides maintenance and management interfaces.
Board area: IU1 to IU16 (DC power supply) or IU1 to IU15 (AC power supply) are reserved
for the service boards.
l
When a universal platform subrack serves as a master subrack, the subrack can be
provisioned with two or one SCC board.
When two SCC boards are provisioned, they are in mutual backup and are inserted
in slots IU1 and IU2.
When only one SCC board is provisioned, it can be inserted in either slot IU1 or
IU2. When the SCC board is inserted in slot IU1, slot IU2 can be used to hold a
service board. When the SCC board is inserted in slot IU2, slot IU1 cannot be used
to hold a service board.
When the universal platform subrack serves as a slave subrack, the SCC board cannot be
configured. In this case, slots IU1 and IU2 are used to hold service boards.
Fiber-routing area: Fiber jumpers from the ports on the front panel of each board are routed to
the fiber cabling area before being routed on a side of the cabinet.

The unique technical advantages of Huawei's coherent beyond 100 Gbit/s transmission
solution allow for high bandwidth utilization and long-haul transmission.
Various service types and data rates are supported and carried over 200G transmission
channels.
Optical-layer spectral width: 200G and 400G signals are compatible with traditional
signals with 50 GHz spectral width. Compared with 100G signals, 200G and 400G
signals have improved the spectral efficiency by 100%. In addition, 200G and 400G
signals support flexible grid wavelengths and has higher spectrum utilization than the
systems using fixed spectrum.
Long-Haul Transmission
Using the 16QAM/QPSK technology, multi-carrier light source technology, and coherent
DSP/SDFEC algorithm, Huawei beyond 100 Gbit/s transmission solution achieves long-haul
transmission without regeneration.
Issue 01 (2015-12-31)
25
6 Product Features
16QAM/QPSK
Together with the dual-carrier technology, 16QAM/QPSK reduces the baud rate of
optical signals without reducing the line rate, therefore reducing the spectral width of
optical signals and overcoming the bandwidth limitations of transmission devices.
Coherent detection
This technology provides for a better OSNR and receiver sensitivity than those in a noncoherent system.
FEC technology
Huawei coherent transmission solutions support SDFEC schemes. Using advanced
algorithms, Huawei coherent solutions offer higher net coding gain and thus extends the
transmission distance.
The unique technical advantages of Huawei's coherent 100 Gbit/s transmission solution allow
for ultra long-haul transmission, simplified network structure, high bandwidth utilization, and
Low Latency.
Ultra-Long-Haul Transmission
Huawei coherent transmission solution uses multiple technologies, such as ePDM+QPSK/
ePDM+BPSK modulation, coherent detection/second-generation coherent detection, FEC and
Hybrid OA, to achieve ultra-long-haul (ULH) transmission without electrical regeneration.

6 Product Features
Low Latency
Due to low latency, Huawei coherent transmission equipment is especially suitable for
transport networks providing dedicated transport pipes for various business services, such as
financial, data center application, and cloud computing that allow for very low latency.
l
Huawei advanced FEC technology provides optimal net coding gain while introducing
extremely low latency.
Huawei coherent boards are equipped with DSP chips, which have superior performance
in CD and PMD compensation. Therefore, DCMs are no longer required in new 100G/
200G/400G networks, which not only reduces the network construction cost but also
eliminates the latency of the DCMs.
A tributary board receives client services at any bit rate. After OTN mapping and ODUk
cross-connection are complete, the client signals are flexibly cross-connected on the
electrical layer and share bandwidth. A line board then outputs the signals over different
wavelengths.
Along the optical cross-connections on the ROADM board, the signals over different
wavelengths can be transmitted in any optical direction.
If the signals in an optical direction do not need to be locally terminated, they can be
directly transmitted to another optical direction through the optical cross-connections on
the ROADM board.

In Figure 6-8, service 1 is received through the client-side tributary board and is converted
into an ODUk signal. Then the ODUk signal is cross-connected to the PID board by the crossconnect board and is finally converted into an OTUC2 optical signal before it is sent to the
east direction on the WDM side. Service 2 is received by the west PID board. After the
OTUC2-to-ODUk conversion is performed, the signal is cross-connected to the east PID
board by the cross-connect board. After the ODUk-to-OTUC2 conversion, the signal is sent to
the east direction on the WDM side.

Intra-board
1+1 protection
Protects OCh fibers using diverse routing and the dual feeding and
selective receiving function of OLP/DCP/QCP board.
LPT
Detects and reports faults at the service access points and on intermediate
networks. It also helps data communication equipment, such as routers,
switch to the backup network in a timely manner. By doing so, normal
transmission of important services can be remained even when the link is
faulty.
Optical Line
Protection
It uses the dual fed and selective receiving function of the OLP board to
protect line fibers between adjacent stations by using diverse routing.
ODUk SNCP
Protects services against line board faults and OCh fiber disconnections
using the dual feeding and selective receiving function of electrical-layer
cross-connections. The OptiX OSN 9800 supports ODUk SNCP
protection.
Tributary
SNCP
SW SNCP
Protection
In the case of the OptiX OSN 9800, SW SNCP uses intra-board crossconnections on the TOM board to implement the dual fed and selective
receiving function. In this manner, SW SNCP protects the TOM OCh
fiber. The cross-connect granularity is GE or Any service.

Ethernet port OAM, also called Ethernet in the first mile, EFM, or ETHOAM(IEEE 802.3ah), focuses on point-to-point maintenance of
Ethernet links between two directly-connected devices in the last mile.
Ethernet port OAM is not applicable to services. Working with Ethernet
service OAM that applies to end-to-end Ethernet services, Ethernet port
OAM provides complete Ethernet OAM solutions.

The online OSNR monitoring provided by the OD system has the following features:
l
Simple operations
The OSNR monitoring function is integrated into the U2000. It can be performed by
directly operating the U2000. The virtual meter provides graphical display of the
monitored OSNR information, without using other auxiliary devices or complex
operations.

In addition, the OD system can be used to perform O&M of the optical layer on a WDM
network, as described below.
Figure 7-2 O&M of the optical layer on a WDM network
To sum up, the OD system can achieve OSNR monitoring of high-rate WDM networks, quick
monitoring deployment, monitoring, optimization, and analysis of E2E optical-layer
performance. It improves wavelength-level optical-layer O&M capabilities and provides
services along the lifecycle of WDM networks, simplifying the network O&M and saving the
operating expense (OPEX).

In addition to fault diagnosis, traditional optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs) can be
used to measure the fiber length, attenuation introduced in fiber transmission, and fiber
connector attenuation. OTDRs are therefore widely used in the fiber engineering and network
deployment phases.
Figure 7-3 Schematic diagram of the OTDR detection application
Fiber performance testing is classified into acceptance testing and maintenance testing based
on the test implementation phase. Acceptance testing is performed when links are offline.
With the wide application of fibers, maintenance testing has become a vital and usual part of
the process. Regularly performed maintenance testing helps detect the fiber performance in a
network in a timely manner. If traditional OTDRs are used to perform fiber performance
testing, the testing needs to be performed on site and services need to be interrupted.
Online fiber status detection methods that can achieve remote, online, accurate, and quick
fiber status detection are necessary to improve maintenance efficiency and reduce
maintenance costs.
Support quality detection for fibers within different length ranges based on the
monitoring mode and detection parameter settings.

NEs between sites A and F are interconnected with fibers and exchange information
over ESC/OSC channels using the HWECC protocol.
Some NEs at certain site (such as, NEs at site B) are interconnected with network
cables (usually when optical and electrical NEs are separate), and exchange
information over Ethernet channels (provided by NM ports on the CTU boards)
using the HWECC protocol.
NEs at sites A and C are designated as gateway NEs (GNEs) and are connected to
an external data communication network (DCN) through a switch or router to
achieve communication with the NMS. All the other NEs are designated as nonGNEs and communicate with the NMS through a GNE.
