Description The multirate transponder platform, Sigma Links 1000 (up to 2.5G transponder) provides the capability to transport a wide variety of service types from 155 Mbps to 2.48 Gbps, including services such as ESCON, SONET OC-3 through OC-48, SDH STM-1 through STM-16, Gigabit Ethernet, 1-or 2-Gbps Fibre Channel, and other services, over a 100-GHz, ITU-compliant wavelength, with 50-GHz wavelength stability for future 64-channel operation. The 2.5G transponder card architecture contains a single client interface that is mapped to a single-line CWDM interface, without accessing its shelf cross-connect fabric.The interface to the client is via a variety of Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics modules, enabling a wide service mix, including ESCON, OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16, Gigabit Ethernet, 1-Gbps Fibre Channel/FICON, 2-Gbps Fibre Channel/FICON, as well as high-definition television (HDTV), and different fiber types (single- and multimode), wavelengths (850 and 1310 nm), and fiber reach (short reach/intra-office, intermediate reach/short haul, etc.). The SFP optics modules are equipped with LC connectors to enable high-density placement.
