ZXWM M900
Divided into the hardware system and NM software system, which are independent of each other and work coordinately. Working wavelength range and channel interval C-band (192.1THz ~ 195.2THz) at 100 GHz interval.
System composition
OTM: Optical terminal equipment As shown in Fig. OTU stands for the optical transfer board, OMU and ODU for the OM board and the OD board. OBA and OPA for the optical amplifying boards. OSCT for the supervisory board, and it is used as the OSC terminal (OSCT) when using as the terminal. At the receiving end of the OTM, DCM should be added for dispersion compensation after long distance transmission. Wavelength interval transferred by OTU is 100 GHz.
Two basic types of amplifiers: Co-directional (pumping) and Counterdirectional. Co-directional pumping results in good SNR performance (preamp), where as Counter-directional results in better gain performance (Post/Power amp). One amplifier does not necessary fit all applications!, especially in LH networks.

OA Subrack Structure
An OA subrack has simple mechanical structure and consists of front/rear aluminum beams, left/right side boards, and guide rail bar. The guide rail (Dimensions: 577 mm (H) * 482.6 mm (W) * 269.5 mm (D)) of a plug-in box is of section aluminum. Backplane: A backplane is the carrier connecting boards and provides the interface between the ZXWM M900 and external signals.
At the upper part of the backplane providing signal connection interfaces like the subrack power socket, network interface, transparent user channel interface, alarm input/output interface . The lower part of the backplane signal sockets and power sockets of various slot boards. Signal sockets at various slots employs the differential data bus to receive/transmit data. They work in parallel to transmit & receive data to the public interface area.
The board insertion area includes 14 groups of guide rail slots with 30 mm in between
Telephone bracket; Located in the front of the backplane interface area and configured within an OA subrack alone to lay a orderwire phone. Air filter; At the lowest part of a subrack. The air filter, together with a fan plug-in box, forms a circulating system within subrack. Chute;Located at the lower part of a subrack and used to lay the fiber coming into and out of a board panel. Installation lug;Including left and right lugs, used to fix a subrack and a cabinet by means of captive screws.

OTUF
Implements wavelength conversion of multiple service signals at single-Double-channel 2.5Gbit/s or lower rate. Support doublechannel wavelength conversion. The OTUF on the customer side supports multiple service signals like STM-1/4/16. Optical signals on the line side satisfy G692 requirements. A OTUF has the FEC function conformable to G709 specifications. A OTUF is capable of Bl, B2, and JO detection of SDH signals, and monitor OTU overhead like BiP8,TTI,OTUl-LOF. An OTUF consists of the optical receiver module, optical transmitter module, FEC framer, and control & communication unit.

OA Optical Amplifier
The OA uses EDFA to amplify optical signals. It substitutes the original electrical regenerator relay mode to save system costs and simplify the system. According to its functions and locations in the system, OA includes 3 types: Optical Booster Amplifier (OBA), Optical Line Amplifier (OLA), and Optical Pre Amplifier (OPA). The OA is capable of gain adjustment, gain locking, and power suppression & control, thus realizing power adjustment.
OA Optical Amplifier
Capable of Automatic Power Shut Down (APSD)/Automatic Power Reduction (APR) and restarting. APSD, APR, and restart functions mean that when detecting any input no light (that is, fiber cut) in a link, the system is capable of shutting down or reducing the output optical power of an upstream amplifier or all amplifiers within a downstream regenerator section. When signals are recovered, the OA resumes its operation. This ensures that optical power levels satisfy safety requirements during line fiber correction
OA Optical Amplifier
A board is equipped with a 1510/1550 optical multiplexer and optical demultiplexer (OBA has an optical multiplexer alone and OPA has an optical monitoring module located at the input & output end provides an online monitoring interface without affecting any service. EDFA, EDFA drive circuits: EDFA amplifies 1550 nm optical signals and is controlled by an EDFA drive circuit. The EDFA drive circuit is capable of gain adjustment, power suppression, gain locking. Control & communication: Used to detect input/output optical power and report it to the NMS. Meanwhile, the control & communication receives the control commands sent from the NMS to a board. The adjustable range of gain adjustment commands is the gain nominal value of 2 dB and the adjustment step length of 0.1 dB.
Each EDFA at the Output Cuts at Least in a Half (3dB) the OSNR Received at the Input
Each amplifier adds noise, thus the optical SNR decreases gradually along the chain; we can have only have a finite number of amplifiers and spans and eventually electrical regeneration will be necessary Gain flatness is another key parameter mainly for long amplifier chains
