    摘要: The present invention provides a method and system that compensate end-to-end optical dispersion for a fiber-optic cable having a plurality of predetermined compensations sites to within a predetermined dispersion limit using a predetermined dispersion compensation increment. With the method and system, the predetermined dispersion compensation increment may exceed both the predetermined compensation limit as well as the compensation limit divided by the number of sites. The method includes the steps of compensating optical dispersion using the compensation increment for each of the plurality of predetermined compensation sites to yield an end-to-end optical dispersion compensation within the predetermined optical dispersion limit. This may include optical dispersion over-compensation at some sites and optical dispersion under-compensation at other sites.

    摘要: A snap fit cable retainer is illustrated for accommodating multiple diameter cables in a snug fit configuration by having the bit portion between adjacent side legs being closer to the extremities of the legs than is the main bit portion of the overall connector. In this way, large diameter cables can be run lengthwise through the retainer and smaller diameter cables can be run crosswise through the retainer. The retainer can also accommodate a layer of cables in each direction simultaneously by placing the lower level in the crosswise direction through the retainer and the second layer on top in the lengthwise direction.

    摘要: In an integrated telecommunications network adapted to provide narrowband telephony signals and broadband switched video signals, control signals for the broadband video signals are transmitted in the narrowband as baseband signals, which are frequency division multiplexed with the broadband switched video signals. The video control signals are transmitted over the same transmission lines as the broadband video signals and do not require the installation of additional transmission lines. Control signals from a plurality of subscribers are multiplexed together at a network unit and are transmitted as a channel on an optical fiber, after which the channels from a plurality of network units are further multiplexed together to form a frame of control channels which are transmitted to a video controller unit.

    摘要: A video line shelf arrangement allows for incremental growth in video channels provided to optical network units. The arrangement includes a number of video line shelves disposed vertically in a column. Each video line shelf includes a number of slots, with the slots of adjacent shelves being aligned vertically. Video line cards each providing six video channels are inserted into selected slots of the video line shelf, as are necessary to provide the required number of channels. A vertical column of video line cards is arranged to service a single optical network unit. Thus, only the necessary number of video line cards are inserted into the slots aligned in a column serving a single optical network unit.

    摘要: Two pulse-width modulated power supplies are synchronized to operate at 180.degree. of phase shift to reduce the peak amplitude of the instantaneous current drawn from the DC input bus. The circuit includes means for disabling the synchronization upon detection of an undervoltage fault condition on the output of either supply. This feature allows frequency programming techniques to be used to provide foldback current limiting for either supply without affecting the operation of the other supply.

    摘要: A method and system for forming microlens (78) on an optical fiber (60) include optical fiber lensing device (10) having lowering mechanism (18) for inserting optical fiber (60) at a predetermined and controlled speed to a predetermined depth in oil-acid bath having oil layer (62), acid layer (64), and boundary (68) between oil layer (62) and acid layer (64). The next step is to etch optical fiber (60) at boundary (68) by forming meniscus (66) around optical fiber (60) to selectively and controllably form on optical fiber (60) a microlens (78) having a predetermined shape, preferably a hyperbolic shape. The etching includes the steps of first tapering optical fiber (60) to a shape determined by the distance that optical fiber (60) is first inserted into acid layer (64). The etch step further chemically mills microlens (78) on optical fiber (60) to the predetermined shape by controlling the etch time and position of optical fiber (60) relative to boundary (68) for etching optical fiber (60) at boundary (68).

    摘要: Redundant facility payload signals (12, 14) received by redundant interface modules (16, 18) are redundantly provided (28, 30; 32, 34) to redundant downstream modules (24, 26) in an equipment (10). A non-symmetrical facility protection algorithm is resident in the B interface module (18). Symmetrical equipment protection algorithms are independently resident and operative in each module of pairs of identical A and B modules at each stage of the data stream. Module or data failures result in switchover only of the disabled data path or module so that the ability to transport payload is maintained and other modules or data paths are unaffected. Facility switchover is effected by detecting a working line failure and transmitting commands to switch the protection line to the A path modules. Equipment switchover is effected by checking for a working or protection module failure independently in each path and independently communicating independent switchover decisions to the other side and downstream. The methodology and mechanism are disclosed in a SONET element embodiment, although the invention is applicable in other contexts.

    摘要: A circuit for recovering a clock signal from incoming data and for retiming the incoming data comprises circuitry for generating a plurality of phased clock signals responsive to a selected frequency and clock recovery circuitry for generating a recovered clock from the plurality of phased clocks and the incoming data. The recovered clock is used to retime the data, which may be either RZ or NRZ data. To recover clock from the incoming data, the presence of a logic "1" is detected in one or more data streams and the phase of the data relative to the phased clocks is determined. Hold circuitry stores the phase information during the interval between logic "1" bits and aligns the phase information with the leading phased clock. Compare circuitry and counter circuitry detect changes in phase information to insure that a change is not merely the result of a metastable anomaly. Phase control circuitry uses phase information from the compare block to switch between phased clocks to generate the glitchless recovered clock. The recovered clock is used by the data retime circuitry to retime the data with the recovered clock. A multi-tap delay line can be used to generate a plurality of phased clock signals from a selected data frequency, with the clock recovery circuitry using a predetermined number of the plurality of phased clocks to generate the recovered clock responsive to the frequency of the incoming data.
