OTU Transponder

The OTU Optical Transponder includes 1x100G into 1x100G transponder (CFP2, CFP), 4x25G into 4x25G transponder, 4/5x10G into 4/5x10G transponder and 4x2.5G into 4x2.5G transponder, which can be matched with OTNS 8600 I/II/V series of 1U, 2U and 5U chassis.

Optical Transponder VS Muxponder 

In optical transmission, both transponder and muxponder belong to OTU(optical transform unit)/wavelength conversion unit, the main function is to converge or convert one or multiple client-side signals after access, and output OTU DWDM(according to ITU-T G.694.1 recommendation) or CWDM(according to ITU-T G.694.2 recommendation) standard wavelength, to facilitate the multiplexing unit can perform WDM on optical signals of different wavelengths.

What Is Transponder in DWDM?

China optical transponders are used to enable point-to-point connections over long distances when the client rate matches the optical wavelength. In cases where the client rates are lower than the optical wavelength.

What is Muxponder?

A muxponder is the element that sends and receives the optical signal on a fiber in much the same way as a transponder except that the muxponder has the additional functionality of multiplexing multiple sub-rate client interfaces onto the line interface.

The main difference between transponder and muxponder

Transponder

N in N out: N* Low-speed client-side services==> N* Standard wavelength optical signals

Muxponder

N in One out: N* Low-speed client-side services ==> 1* High-speed standard wavelength optical signal

Optical Transponder (O-E-O) Application in WDM Network

OEO (Optical Electrical Optical) means optical→Electrical→optical. The optical signal to be amplified is first converted into an electrical signal, after the 3R function (signal amplification, clock extraction, signal regeneration), and then converted into an optical signal, thereby playing a role in optical power amplification. The optical transponder is mainly used to amplify a single signal at a low rate of 10Gbit/s or below one by one.
