Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer

Introduction to Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX

Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX is a single-shelf network multiplexer designed primarily for access transport, business access, and regional interoffice applications transporting voice, data, and SAN traffic at the OC-3/12/48/192 level via 1+1, or unidirectional path switched ring (UPSR) protected lines.

Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX supports a wide array of wideband and broadband transport, including traditional SONET transport of DS1, E1, DS3, EC-1, TransMUX, OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, OC-192 as well as 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN, DWDM rings, and FICON/ESCON/Fibre-Channel SAN transport. The shelf can be equipped to serve many diverse network applications and supports a variety of operations interfaces for current and evolving network operations needs.

The figure below shows the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX providing loop access for the various interfaces listed above, and interworking with DDM and FT-2000 to enable a network transition to next–Generation, higher capacity services, and shows how the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX can interwork with embedded, legacy equipment.
