PD IEC/TR 62343-6-4 is an international standard that focuses on the design guidance for reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs). PD IEC/TR 62343-6-4 describes wavelength selective switches performance characteristics. PD IEC/TR 62343-6-4 also describes reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer subsystem technologies.
PD IEC/TR 62343-6-4 is a technical report on reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs), providing a description of the ROADMs in dynamic optical networks and related optical components and modules technologies, including wavelength selective switches.
PD IEC/TR 62343-6-4 specifies reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer architecture, PLC (planar lightwave circuits), and broadcast and select architecture of ROADMs.
PD IEC/TR 62343-6-4 on the design guidance for reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers is useful for:
Dynamic Study Modules work by continuously assessing your performance and activity, then using data and analytics to provide personalized content in real-time to reinforce concepts that target strengths and weaknesses. PD IEC/TR 62343-6-4 address both the rapid growth in capacity demand and efficient and seamless connectivity requirements.
PD IEC/TR 62343-6-4 informs that while high data rate Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing channels at 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s are being introduced in the network to grow the capacity to multiple Tb/s per fibre, the uncertainty in traffic demand and the emergence of bandwidth-hungry applications like video-on-demand have turned the industry’s focus to dynamic, reconfigurable optical networks.
PD IEC/TR 62343-6-4 helps to ease service provisioning and network reconfigurability, optically routed networks reduce the need for unnecessary processing of through-traffic by eliminating the signal conversion from the optical to the electronic domain and back to the optical domain for retransmission, thereby significantly reducing cost.
