Telecommunications service providers have been using dense wavelength division multiplexing (바카라 배팅) technology to increase the amount of traffic they can carry on their optical networks for a few decades.
The first 바카라 배팅 systems, deployed in long-haul transport links, were based on discrete optical components. After many years of development and further integration, fixed-wavelength 바카라 배팅 XFP and SFP+ optical transceivers began to be deployed in the field, originally for metro network applications, where they provided a great way to lower infrastructure CapEx by transmitting multiple data links over a single optical fiber. However, fixed-wavelength 바카라 배팅 pluggable transceivers added operational complexity and OpEx by requiring users to maintain multiple wavelength-specific devices with unique part numbers in inventory.
This operational inefficiency has been solved with the introduction of wavelength-tunable 바카라 배팅 pluggable transceivers, which reduce the sourcing complexity and the sparing inventory required by enabling network operators to procure a single part number supporting the full C-band. Figure 1 shows wavelength-tunable 바카라 배팅 SFP+ (T-SFP+) transceivers in both duplex and bidirectional configurations.
However, the deployment and provisioning of a tunable 바카라 배팅 pluggable transceiver still results in a time-consuming activity due to the following steps:
- A field technician must tune each transceiver to the correct wavelength on each system port by using portable tuning boxes or by coordinating w바카라 배팅h the network operation center (NOC).
- The technician must also optically connect each transceiver to the correct channel port on the optical mux/demux filter, which can be complicated due to poor fiber management or labeling errors. In some cases, the 40-port mux/demux is located a few kilometers away from the system, adding even more complex바카라 배팅y to the fiber tracking process.
Because of this, the provisioning of a 바카라 배팅 link with 40 or more wavelengths can take several hours and is prone to multiple operator errors.

Flextune provides the solution to simplify 바카라 배팅 network deployment and provisioning
바카라 배팅 is Coherent’s patented wavelengthself-tuning funct바카라 배팅 for optical pluggable transceiversthat can significantly reduce provisioning time and operating expenses when deploying 바카라 배팅 networks. Pluggable Self-Tuning Optics (STO) with Flextune automatically find the optical path to the module at the remote end of the link and tune themselves to the correct wavelengths. The self-tuning functionality is contained in the firmware of the transceiver, and no host-system intervention is required. This means that transceivers featuring Flextune are truly “plug-and-play.”
바카라 배팅 typical use cases
Many telecom service providers are now requiring Self-Tuning Optics which can automatically set their transceiver wavelength as enabled by Flextune. The Flextune self-tuning functionality is particularly useful in metro and access applications where a portion of the 바카라 배팅 link is remote and not easily accessible. For example, a remote-PHY point-to-point 바카라 배팅 link typically used by a cable company or MSO (Figure 2), or front-haul 바카라 배팅 links in wireless networks (Figure 3).

Figure 3:Mobile front-haul 바카라 배팅 network.
Another use case is where a 바카라 배팅 link is deployed between two pieces of equipment that do not have native support for wavelength-tunable 바카라 배팅 pluggable transceivers, as in datacenter interconnects (DCIs) where T-SFP+ transceivers can be plugged directly into switches and routers without the use of transponder line cards.
Summary of 바카라 배팅 operation
바카라 배팅 can leverage different Coherent patented technologies to implement the self-tuning functionality, depending on the application.
Duplex T-SFP+ Transceivers
In a remote-PHY point-to-point 바카라 배팅 link between the head end and an outdoor hub (Figure 2), the 바카라 배팅 portion of the link consists of multiple duplex T-SFP+ transceivers on each side, linked with up to 80 km of fiber.
This is what takes place when 바카라 배팅-enabled duplex T-SFP+ modules are installed into their respective system ports:
- Each transceiver automatically begins to scan all available wavelengths.
- The transm바카라 배팅ter signal gets blocked by the mux/demux filter if the wavelength is not correct for 바카라 배팅s mux port (Figure 4a).
- The near-end transceiver continues to scan until the correct wavelength is reached. Once that happens, 바카라 배팅 will begin to communicate w바카라 배팅h the far-end transceiver (Figure 4b).
- The far-end transceiver in바카라 배팅iates a special scan and continues until the correct wavelength on 바카라 배팅s mux port is reached (Figure 4c).
- Once the far-end transceiver reaches the correct wavelength, the handshake occurs and the transceivers at both sides of the link lock to their correct wavelengths (Figure 4d). The link is thus established and normal data transmiss바카라 배팅 begins.

Figure 4(a-d):바카라 배팅 self-tuning process for duplex T-SFP+ transceivers.
The process described above occurs simultaneously in every transceiver installed on that link which has 바카라 배팅 enabled.
Bidirect바카라 배팅al T-SFP+ Transceivers
In this example, a mobile front-haul link between the base band unit (BBU) and the remote radio units (RRUs) consists of multiple bidirectional T-SFP+ modules utilizing Coherent’s patented D2WDM™ (Dual 바카라 배팅) technology in the 바카라 배팅 portion of the link.
The 바카라 배팅 process in this scenario is slightly different from duplex T-SFP+, as only the near-end transceivers perform the scan:
- Near-end transceivers begin to scan all available wavelengths.
- The transm바카라 배팅ter signal gets blocked by the mux/demux filter if the wavelength is not correct for 바카라 배팅s mux port (Figure 5a).
- The near-end transceiver continues to scan until the correct wavelength is reached. Once that happens, 바카라 배팅 is able to communicate that information to the far-end transceiver (Figure 5b).
- The far-end transceiver tunes to the correct wavelength and the handshake occurs. The link is thus established and normal data transmiss바카라 배팅 begins (Figure 5c).
Benefits of 바카라 배팅
By using 바카라 배팅, up to 96 wavelength-tunable transceivers can automatically configure their wavelength in less than 2 minutes without any intervention from field technicians or the host-network equipment.
Self-Tuning Optics featuring 바카라 배팅greatly reduce operational expend바카라 배팅uresin several ways:
- 바카라 배팅 saves many hours in deployment time and cost, since the configuration of the wavelengths is automatic. Technicians do not need to manually set the wavelength or determine which fixed-wavelength transceivers to use, also eliminating the need to involve the NOC.
- It reduces complexity, as technicians can install the wavelength-tunable transceivers into any host port in the system and connect the jumper cables to any fiber port on the 바카라 배팅 optical mux/demux.
- 바카라 배팅 also eliminates the need to track fibers manually from the optical mux/demux to the transceivers.
