Optical module, line card and optical communication system

Abstract

The embodiments of the present invention disclose an optical module, a line card and an optical communication system, which are used to realize an optical module form and be used on line cards with different service rates at the same time, thereby reducing development costs. Embodiments of the present invention include: more than two male sockets are provided, and the two or more male sockets are used for plugging with female sockets provided on a line card, and the line card includes lines of various service rates. card; the two or more male sockets include at least one first male socket, and the first male socket is configured according to the 100G service rate dense wavelength division multiplexing DWDM optical module multi-source protocol MSA.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to an optical module, a line card and an optical communication system. Background technique

[0002] With the rapid development of optical communication technology, communication operators have ushered in the era of 100G speed, 100G optical modules (optical transponders, Optical Transponder) have been standardized, and 100G long-distance dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM, Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical module multi-source agreement (MSA, Multi SourceAgreement), which stipulates that the physical bus interface of 100G optical module is a set of OTL4.10 (OTL: Optical channel Transport Lane, 4: OTU4 business, 10: 10 signal lines 100G optical module It can be connected with 100G line card, but due to the limitation of the number of 168PIN socket pins, it is impossible to add another set of OTL4.10 bus.

[0003] At the same time, optical modules are al...
