Optical Fail-Over Unit

The OFOU will automatically be activated in the event of a power failure or by a condition applied to the remote port. The OFOU can be used in both ring and point to point network topology, to provide resilience and route diversion. Low insertion loss performance makes it possible to use a number of these units cascaded on a network without the need for optical amplifiers.
Wide wavelength performance covering 'O' and 'C' band transmissions, make the OFOU suitable for networks using CWDM and DWDM technology. Legacy SONET/SDH transmissions are also supported.
A number of product variants are available offering different fibre connector combinations (LC & SC).
