The LNW64 provides 8 Private Line Pluggable Transmission Modules (PTMs), also known as small form-factor plug-ins (SFPs), GbE ports. The ports can be equipped with 8 1000BASE-SX/LX/ZX PTMs or 8 100/1000BASE-T electrical PTMs, though only 1000BASE-T rates are supported on the LNW64. LNW64 can also support a mix of 4 electrical and 4 optical PTMs. The LNW64 contains 8 internal VCG ports supporting enhanced Private Line services such as virtual concatenation and Link Capacity Adjustment Scheme (LCAS).
LNW64 is OSP hardened and can only be used with VLF Mains (LNW59, LNW82, or LNW504). You must install PTMs that are approved for industrial temperatures to use the LNW64 in OSP environments.
LNW64 supports STS-1 and STS-3c cross-connections with or without VCAT, and STS-12c cross-connections without VCAT. All ports are capable of transmitting at wire speed (1000 Mbps) simultaneously, making full capacity of the pack 168 STS-1s.
Ethernet packs can occupy both Slot 1 and 2 of a Function or Growth Unit (where applicable). With VLF Mains and all tributary slots populated with LNW64 packs, Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX provides a total add/drop capacity of 80 Private Line GbE ports.
The LNW64 utilizes 1000BASE-SX/LX/ZX PTM optics.
For the detailed specifications of these optics, see:
The LNW64 uses electrical PTMs that are provisionable to support either 100BASE-T or 1000BASE-T traffic.
For detailed specifications, see 100/1000BASE-T electrical Ethernet specification.
Performance monitoring capabilities are available on the GbE circuit packs. For a detailed list of monitored parameters, see Performance monitoring.
