Optical Line Protection HT6800-OP1

The HT6800-OP1 is a single-channel OLP (Optical Line Protection) card for the HT6800 DCI DWDM Optical Transmission System. Using dynamic synchronous optical switching technology, it provides 1+1 protection with sub-20ms switchover when fiber breaks or signal degradation occurs. Features SIG, A, and B ports. Occupies 1 slot in the HT6800 chassis.

Sub-20ms Switching — Automatic switchover from main to backup fiber path within milliseconds, reducing recovery time from hours to milliseconds.

Switching Modes

Automatic Mode
  • Monitors optical power levels and compares against preset thresholds continuously
  • Automatically switches to backup path when signal degradation or fiber break is detected
  • Supports recovery mode — automatically returns to primary path when restored
  • Supports non-recovery mode — remains on backup path after switchover
Manual Mode
  • Switches optical path based solely on user commands via management interface
  • Supports manual switching threshold configuration for fine-grained control
  • Supports manual return to automatic mode after manual intervention
  • Ideal for planned maintenance, testing, and commissioning scenarios

Key Features

Sub-20ms Auto Switchover

Automatic primary-to-backup route switching completes in <15 ms, reducing fiber failure recovery time from hours to milliseconds.

1+1 Optical Protection

Full 1+1 optical line protection with dedicated backup path, ensuring uninterrupted communication when fiber breaks or equipment failures occur.

Auto & Manual Switching

Supports both automatic mode (threshold-based) and manual mode (command-based), with configurable recovery and non-recovery options.

Configurable Thresholds

Supports user-defined switching threshold settings with optical power accuracy of ±0.25 dB and detection resolution of ±0.01 dB.

Auto Return to Home

Supports automatic return to primary path once the main fiber is restored, minimizing manual intervention in mission-critical networks.

Low Insertion Loss ≤5.5 dB

Low insertion loss (Tx ≤4 dB, Rx ≤1.2 dB), high return loss ≥55 dB, and low polarization dependent loss ≤0.05 dB for transparent operation.
