  1. The Cornerstone to Test AutomationThe Media Cross Connect

  2. MRV OCS Fast Facts • Founded in 1988 • Over 20 years of optical innovation • OCS Group employees 300+ • Systems and integration business units • Product offerings • Infrastructure management • Physical Layer Switch • Console Server/Power Management • Optical communications • Network management • Network integration professional services Worldwide Presence Sales and service offices worldwide

  3. Challenges with Test Management • Time to market is critical • Development and test cycle must get shorter • Time to market is critical • Development and test cycle must get shorter • Product/Test complexity is increasing • Testing becoming a burden/bottleneck of release cycle • Test standardization • Accuracy and repeatability more important • Test setup • Time consuming process prone to errors • Optimization of resources • Expensive equipment needs maximum utilization

  4. Traditional Test Lab Environment • Labor-intense test set up • Prone to human error • Compromises test accuracy and repeatability • Inefficient use of lab equipment • Not positioned for automation An estimated 70% of testing downtime is caused by wiring mistakes

  5. Media Cross Connect Wire-Once Solution • Wire all infrastructure equipment to the MCC • Configure physical connections using software commands

  6. MCC Benefits • Reconfigure topologies through software • Perform more tests in less time • Accurate • Repeatable • Fewer Retests • Accelerate product time to market • Reduce CapEx and OpEx • Cornerstone of test automation

  7. MCC Applications • Lab automation • Equipment sharing • Interoperability testing • Network/fault simulation • System test/validation • Media conversion • Proof of concept labs • Support labs/NOC • Training centers • Video matrix distribution/multicast traffic • Network monitoring

  8. Why Deploy the MCC ? • Reduce test time • Increase test accuracy • Increase equipment utilization • Expedite new product releases • Minimize operational and capital expense • Position for test automation

  9. As companies try to do more with less – Test automation is becoming required practice

  10. Cornerstone to Lab Automation • Connect the physical layer using software commands • Point to point – uni- or bi directional • Point to multi point • Port mirroring

  11. What is a Media Cross Connect? • Layer 1, Physical Layer Switch • Route media electronically • Provides programmable mappings • any-port to any-port, • wire-speed connectivity • non-blocking switching back plane • Port mappings can be made one-to-one or one-to-many • Protocol independent - data rate specific • 100% transparent with virtually no latency (<μs) • Variety of chassis types and interface blades

  12. Physical Layer Switch OSI Model MCC

  13. Media Cross Connect Hardware Overview

  14. MCC Chassis • 4X Chassis (4.25G mapping bandwidth) • 2, 4, 8 slot AC/DC • 8X Chassis (8.50G mapping bandwidth) • 4 slot AC/DC • High Speed Chassis (10.3Gbps mapping bandwidth) • 1 slot AC, 36 ports x 10G non-blocking • 4 slot AC/DC, up to 144 ports x 10G non-blocking • 8 slot AC, up to 288 port x 10G non-blocking

  15. MCC Interface Blades Optical and Copper • Interface Blade types • RJ 45 – 100m/1G conversion • T3/E3/STS1 • SFP – with and without CDR • SFP+ - up to 10G

  16. MCC Protocol Support • Ethernet 10/100/1000 • SONET/SDH OC3,12,48, 192 • Fibre Channel 1, 2, 4, 8 Gig • Fibre Channel over Ethernet • 10 Gig Ethernet & Fibre Channel • SAS/SATA 3& 6 Gig • T1/E1/J1 • DS3/E3/STS-1 • Digital Video (DVB-SDI)

  17. MCC Chassis Offerings 288 144 72 36

  18. MCC Chassis Blade Support 2R = Reshape & Retransmit 3R = Reshape, Retransmit & Retime

  19. Pay-as-you-grow Scalability • Multi-use paths eliminate rate matching in clustering configurations • Decreases the number of inter-chassis (Z) links and optics • Flexible, economical means of achieving large port count connectivity

  20. Inter-Chassis Blade • Three CXPs provide 12 rate-independent paths • Simplify design and implementation of multiple chassis • Compatible with any MCC chassis • MTP cables rated to 100M

  21. 504 Ports Using 2 Chassis 12 multi-rate links/cable

  22. 1008 Ports Using 5 Chassis 12 multi-rate links/cable

  23. Optical Cross Connect- OCC 96 • Single Mode Physical Layer Switch • All Optical Switch • Protocol Independent • Any Speed Up to 100 Gbps • 1, 10, 40, and 100Gbps • “Dark Fiber Switching” • doesn’t require end system devices to configure connections • Standards based management interfaces

  24. OCC 96 Specifications • 96 Ports, SMF Dual LC Connectors • Low Loss: <2 dB insertion loss • Serial Port, 10/100 Ethernet Management Port • AC or DC Power Options • Field replaceable power modules • Mechanicals • 17.25”x 22”x 8.7” (5RU) • Weight 59 lbs. • +10°C to 40°C (32°F to 122°F) • Heat Dissipation 55W

  25. Optical Cross Connect Technology • How it works: an optical beam is collimated and steered from an input array ("send" side) to an output array ("receive" side). Voltage signals to the piezoelectric elements control the pointing • Advantages of Beam-steering technology • Very clean optical path: with a very simple optical train, consisting of fiber and two collimators, DirectLight is capable of very low loss (typ=0.4 dB) and extremely high optical performance • High force, high stiffness drive train: with 100x the stiffness of typical 3D MEMS devices, the system is far less susceptible to shock, vibration, or other environmental disturbances • High resolution positioning & control: provides the ability to sense and tune very accuratelyand allowing maximum power throughput
