The new DSPs are complemented by the CStar portfolio of coherent optical engines — brought to Nokia through its recent acquisition of Elenion Technologies. Sam Bucci, head of optical networks at Nokia, said: “…400G will be a catalyst for a significant transformation. With our WaveFabric Elements, Nokia is committed to supplying the 400G optical ecosystem with components, subsystems and design services, as well as continuing to build the highest performing optical transport solutions for the 400G era and beyond.”

VSWR (<1.25) and insertion losses (3.0 db/m at 45GHz).

The cables are suitable for either ground- based or onboard radar, and for avionic or military applications.

Powering 400G applications

Nokia has announced its WaveFabric Elements portfolio of photonic chips, devices and subsystems, including a fifth- generation coherent digital signal processor (DSP) family, the Photonic Service Engine V (PSE-V). Nokia’s WaveFabric Elements combine digital signal processing (DSP) and optics technologies focused on emerging end- to-end 400G applications, allowing Nokia to optimize the entire electro-optic engine that powers networks. A high degree of vertical integration is expected to ensure that Nokia’s optical solutionswill continue tomeet theeconomic and technical requirements of data center, metro, long haul and subsea networks. Nokia’s DSP range, comprising the Nokia PSE-Vs (super coherent) and the low power PSE-Vc (compact), continues Nokia’s history of developing multiple DSPs optimized for different optical networking applications, form factors and platforms.

Unit takes up and pays off

Maillefer’s FPO/FTU 14 is a versatile, floor traversing pay-off and take-up.

Rated at 14 tons, and with the capacity to handle a range of reel diameters from 630mm to 3,200mm, the unit is available in either tire or dog pin drive versions.

With the tiredrive, adouble tireconfiguration ensures traction evenat high cable tensions.

Spooling is possible in any vertical position, giving faster reel changes when spooling on small reel sizes.

The ergonomic control panel is easily accessible fromdifferent operator positions.

The FPO/FTU 14 is geared for line speeds of up to 400m per minute.
