ONT OTUCn and FlexO

Simplify & Accelerate High Speed Network Test in Lab and Production

OTUCn and FlexO Software Options for 800G FLEX and 800G FLEX DCO Modules

OTUCn based on ITU-T G.709 and supplementary documents allow the transport of services beyond 100G, e.g. 200GE and 400GE, and enables line side transport structures beyond 1Tbps. The physical adaptation is defined as FlexO in ITU-T G.709.1 and ITU-T G.709.3 to address client and line side interfaces.

The OTN test applications on the ONT allows thorough design and verification testing for FlexO/FOIC, OTUCn and ODU payloads.

Product Group	Recommend Plan	Bronze	Silver	Maxcare	Why Calibrate?
ONT (Mainframe/ Module)	Bronze-3				ONT is a high precision instrument relying on stable and precise timing, stable sources and calibrated low noise clocks. Validate measurement accuracies conform to published specifications. Maintain connectors, fans and interfaces Why calibrate this product? How will my measurements be affected if the product is out of calibration? The ONT is capable of measuring packet delays and jitter from fractions of a nanosecond to seconds and it can precisely set lane timing and phase to fractions of a PPM. To ensure this performance on this and other measurements it is important to have your ONT verified and calibrated by VIAVI. Applications that measure over 10 orders of magnitude rely on stable and precise timing, stable sources and low noise clocks and VIAVI approved processes ensure this accuracy can be delivered by your ONT. What are the most common implications of these issues to the business? Uncalibrated tools produce unreliable measurement results that can't be certified to specifications and may violate service level agreements or ISO/TL9000 standards with your customers and their network equipment vendors. QoS certification may be inaccurate and generate a repeat test need. Contractors are often not compensated or could be delisted as an approved service supplier due to incorrect results. Full manufacturer warranty (20-30 years) from cable suppliers (e.g. Corning, CommScope, Belden, ect.) will only be granted if the installation is certified with a calibrated instrument, thus the network owner is motivated to comply with correct installation certification procedures to retain and enforce the warranty on expensive cabling and optical network elements, etc. Common Business impacts include: Lost revenue, customer complaints and increased costs: Most network operators track and audit repeat work done by sub-contractors and often there is a billing dispute in these cases. Contractors with high rates of inaccurate test results are usually hired for less or not at all when not meeting SLA agreements or quality metrics. For Network Operators, repeat service quality issues with customers often causes added cost, customer dissatisfaction and loss of business. Example: Let's look at OTN/SONET/SDH/E1/T1 and various FTTX, DOCIS and xDSL measurements. It is critical to reach full line rate (1G, 10G, 40G, 100G) to test service performance and service error rates. If the uncalibrated tester can not reach full line rate during testing, a customer may be left with suboptimal performance that will quickly create complaints or alternatively, the technician could end up chasing phantom network problems that do not exist.
