Product Brief

RUBICON-LH

10GE & OC192/48/12/3 DW/FEC/PM and AsyncMap Device with Strong FEC

Revision 1.9, March 2006

Part Number S19227PBI

APPLICATION DIAGRAMS

Figure 3: OC48/STM16 Aggregation to OTU-2 Edge

Transponder

Figure 3 shows the Rubicon-LH in an edge transponder applica-

tion where the client signals are first aggregated in the AMCC

Pointer Processor chip called Mekong. Once the Mekong aggre-

gates the client 2.5G SONET/SDH signals into a OC192C/STM64

signal, this is then passed onto the Rubicon-LH which performs

the OTN encapsulation and creates the FEC overhead. On the

network side, the AMCC S19235 and S3394 are used to provide a

high-performance interface to the network side optics.
