EKINOPS PM VOA
8-port pluggable Variable Optical Attenuator
DATA SHEET 12 | 2017

KEY FEATURES OVERVIEW


& BENEFITS
In an effort to reduce the cost of deploying and operating their networks to drive increased profitability,
• Provides dynamic optical power operators are trying to automate as many of the operational aspects of these networks as possible.
management at low cost
Increased automation means more tasks can be handled remotely from the Network Operations Center
• Single-slot card with up to
8 independent VOAs (NOC) or even by the network itself without human involvement, reducing the number of truck rolls and
• Allows individual control site visits. EKINOPS’ PM VOA provides network automation capability for optical power management by
and monitoring of SFPs allowing for NOC-controlled remote adjustment of power levels to compensate for changes due to fiber
• Ultra-low insertion loss
aging and other events such as new channel insertion. This allows operators to not just balance power
• Hot swappable SFP VOAs
levels, but to optimize them. The difference is that an optimized system is balanced and implemented
• Replaces all fixed attenuators
with correct power levels for the distances, losses, and receiver tolerances not just for all current channels,
• Remotely manageable from the NOC
to simplify on-site operations & optimize but for future traffic as well.
optical channels settings
Designed to work with EKINOPS PM OPM8 Optical Performance Measurement module (see separate data
sheet), the EKINOPS PM VOA is meant for use in low channel count applications where wideband gain
equalization solutions are too expensive and may suffer from high insertion loss. Once installed, the
APPLICATIONS PM VOA can be controlled from the NOC to align the optical power of any new channels based on
• Remote power management for information collected by the PM OPM8 at the hub site. It removes the need for fixed attenuators using
low channel count applications:
dynamic adjustment of the power-per-channel to optimize performance, enabling better Optical Signal
> Cell site connectivity
to Noise Ratio (OSNR) and additional margin on the system.
> Network spurs
> Fixed OADM sites The EKINOPS PM VOA is a single slot card with up to 8 independent Variable Optical Attenuators (VOAs)
using hot swappable SFP VOAs enabling a pay-as-you-grow approach so that network operators can
better align costs with revenue development activities.

MANAGEMENT
The EKINOPS PM VOA can be managed through SNMP or via the Ekinops standard element level
management interfaces, which include a CLI (Command Line Interface) and an Ekinops java-based GUI
(Graphical User Interface). The CLI is accessible via SSH and Telnet remotely or via a local serial port
locally on the Management board. Complete performance monitoring and management is provided,
including transmitted power and current attenuation. The module is also supported by Celestis NMS,
the Ekinops Network Manager.
