Combination of Integrated Optical Interfaces and OLMs

Note

The optical ports of the OLMs are optimized for greater distances. The direct
coupling of the optical ports of an OLM with an OBT or integrated optical ports is
not possible due to differences in the technical specifications.

Attaching Glass FO Cables to Buses Made up of Integrated Optical Interfaces

The operating wavelength of the integrated optical interfaces and the OBT is
optimized for the use of plastic or PCF fibers. The direct attachment of glass FO
cables is not possible.

If a link with glass FO cable is required, for example to span distances of more
than 300 m, this link must be implemented with OLMs. The attachment of glass
links to the optical bus made up of integrated optical interfaces is via the RS-485
interface of an OBT. The following schematic shows an example of an application:
