Communication Systems Optical Cross-Connects
DCME/IP-CME
Product Introduction & Features System Configuration Salient Features

By monitoring and controlling traffic at the optical level for continuous network optimizations, Mitsubishi Electric Optical Cross connect enables overall equipment costs in the backbone network to be slashed at a stroke. Preproduction units built on our developments in optical devices and transmission engineering have already been undergoing verification at interoperability functions.
Features
1.GMPLS Protocol Engineering
Automatic dispersion control permits optical path selection:
Signaling: GMPLS; Extension: RSVP-TE
Routing: GMPLS; Extension: OSPF-TE
Link Management: LMP
Press Releases detailing typical GMPLS interoperability verification tests:
Successful transmission of moving across next-generation high capacity network 2004-1-23 (40KB)
2.All-optical Transmission Control Engineering
Mitsubishi's patented "bascule" optical switch facilitates all-optical transmission, featuring:
1. Low Loss:
Less than 8.7 dB loss in a 16x16 matrix due to the direct make-break optical waveguide switch implementation.
Rack-mounted 16x16 Bascule Optical Switch
2. Low Cost:
The waveguide is made from low-cost, bulk-produced polyimide.
3. High Speed:
The polymer switch actuator operates within 0.13ms.
4. High Reliability:
No matching oil etc. required: 10,000,000 switching cycles verified in testing.
