SDH / SONET Multiservice Access IMAP - O9500R

Model: O9500R

The Loop-O9500R SDH/SONET IMAP (Integrated Multi-Services Access Platform) is an economical STM-1/4/16 (OC-3/12/48) access multiplexer designed to provide integrated access to STM-1/4/16 (OC-3/12/48) optical lines.


The Loop-O9500R SDH/SONET IMAP (Integrated Multi-Services Access Platform) is an economical STM-1/4/16 (OC-3/12/48) access multiplexer designed to provide integrated access to STM-1/4/16 (OC-3/12/48) optical lines. Access is provided through either a non-blocking VC11/VC12/VC3/VC4 cross-connect with HS tributary modules or through an additional non-blocking DS0 cross-connect fabric with LS tributary modules.

With up to 4 STM-1/4/16 (OC-3/12/48) aggregate interfaces on cross-connect modules and 8 STM-1 (OC-3) interfaces on tributaries, the Loop-O9500R SDH/SONET IMAP offers service providers a versatile protection schemes including SNCP(UPSR) and MSP(1+1) protection for both ring and linear network topologies. The O9500R can work with the Loop-O9100 and Loop-O9400 in the same topology.

The non-blocking VC11/VC12/VC3/VC4 cross-connect capability on High Speed (HS) is up to 20 VC4. The HS tributary modules include optical STM-1/4 (OC-3/12), E3/T3, E1/T1 interfaces, FOM and Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet over STM-1/4/16 (OC-3/12/48). Ethernet signals are mapped onto STM payload through standard techniques such as GFP, LAPS, VCAT, LCAS, and non-LCAS. These HS modules are identical to those used in the rack version of the Loop-O9400.

The uplink non-blocking DS0 cross-connect to HS is up to 21 E1 or 28 T1.  The non-blocking DS0 cross-connect capability on Low Speed (LS) is up to 768 DS0. Through a full non-blocking DS0 cross-connect and together can act as a mini DACS. The modules include variety of TDM, IP, and voice interfaces detailed on next page. All LS modules are identical to those used in rack version of the Loop-AM3440.

All interfaces are fully compliant with the relevant ETSI standards and ITU recommendations. The O9500R SDH/SONET IMAP provides full Operation, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning (OAM&P) functionality. Users can easily operate the O9500R locally or remotely for centralized management with Loop-iNET (EMS) and Loop-iNMS (Integrated NMS).
