AIMA-OPSW-12

Optical A/B Protection Switch
AIMA-OPSW-12

The Optical A/B Protection Switch (OPSW) is designed to plug into PBN’s latest generation Advanced Intelligent Multi-services Access platform – the AIMA3000.

The high isolation and impedance matched optical switch is microprocessor controlled and will operate in standalone mode without the need of management software.

Switching is based on the measurement of optical and RF signals. These signals are compared to preconfigured minimum and maximum thresholds parameters stored in the firmware tables.

Manual operation of the OPSW or the configuration of the optical and RF thresholds can be set through the web interface using a through PBN’s NMSE management software.


Plug-and-play with the AIMA3000 platform


Three adjustable input levels to suit different optical input ranges: High: +10 dBm ~ +25 dBm (251.18 mW ~ 316.22 mW); Middle: 0 dBm ~ +15 dBm (1 mW ~ 31.62 mW); Low: - 10 dBm ~ + 5 dBm (0.1 mW ~ 3.16 mW)


Fast switching time of 15 ms


Non-Revert and Revert operating modes with user-adjustable delay


Adjustable minimum thresholds of -10 dBm ~ +25 dBm on both inputs. Operators can define the maximum and minimum parameters for automated switching


Optical switching based on optical or RF power levels


Comprehensive status monitoring through the built-in web interface


Remote firmware upgrade and auto upload/download of configuration files through ASMM web interface or using PBN's NMSE



Bulk firmware updates through PBN's NMSE


Fully FCC, CE and RCM compliant
