OCM Card – DWDM Channel Monitor, 50/100 GHz
The OCM Card measures discrete DWDM wavelengths at any point in an optical node, reports channel power data and supports 8-core fibre power monitoring.
Description
Overview
The OCM Card is the Optical Channel Monitoring module of an optical transmission system. It provides comprehensive monitoring and measurement of DWDM wavelengths at strategic points within optical communication nodes.
The module identifies discrete DWDM wavelengths and delivers detailed optical power data, and it supports 8-core fibre power monitoring. Placed at different locations in the network and combined with remote access management, it becomes a powerful tool for troubleshooting and advanced alerting. The card occupies only 1/4 standard slot capacity.
