Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in a large-scale communication equipment system in which all interconnection units are optically interconnected, the general connection units are interconnected using a CLOS topology network, which makes the optical fiber connections between optical interconnection units very complicated. The optical fiber of the unit will be connected to multiple optical interconnection units
In addition, in the same optical interconnection unit, the optical fibers may belong to different optical engines, and these optical interconnection units have a certain distance in space, and the optical interconnection units are directly connected by optical fibers, resulting in the wiring of optical fibers Very complex, and the complexity of the optical interconnection network within and between large-scale equipment leads to a series of problems in equipment production, deployment, expansion, etc.

Embodiment 1

[0051] Embodiment 1: Glass-based optical waveguide interconnection board

[0052] The optical waveguide interconnection board is the core part of the embodiment of the present invention. The complexity of the CLOS network interconnection is realized by the optical waveguide interconnection board, so the optical fiber interconnection for external interconnection can use standard fiber sequences. The optical CLOS cross-connect device of this embodiment uses high-density optical connectors and glass-based optical waveguide interconnection boards. The reason why waveguides are used as interconnection boards is mainly to consider that the optical paths in the waveguides can pass through each other almost perfectly without generating Mutual interference, that is, in one layer of waveguides, can integrate a very large number of cross interconnection networks.

[0053] The glass base is used because of the loss and cost advantages of the glass base. The glass base waveguide produced b...

Embodiment 2

[0056] Embodiment 2: polymer-based optical waveguide interconnection board, the use of polymer base is mainly because the fusion of polymer waveguide and existing PCB board is better, and it can be conveniently made as an optical waveguide interconnection board with photoelectric hybrid, Other references to Embodiment 1 will not be repeated here.

Embodiment 3

[0057] Embodiment 3: Optical CLOS cross-connect device for white box switch

[0058] Such as Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment adopts a box body in structure, and adopts a uniform size with other white boxes in the rack. The size of the optical waveguide interconnection board can also be adjusted according to the specific size. At the same time, a unified operation display and other electrical functions can be designed according to the unified style of the whole machine to realize the actual deployment of photoelectric hybrid.

[0059] The white box switch includes an upper panel, a lower panel, a front panel, and a rear panel. An optical waveguide interconnection board is respectively installed on the upper and lower layers of the panel, which are used to correspond to two interconnected fullmesh networks of the CLOS network. Then an optical CLOS The network cross interconnection box can support a complete optical interconnection device; that is: the optical waveguide inte...

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of telecommunication equipment, in particular to the optical interconnection of data switches, routers, SRs, BRASs, and large-scale wavelength division equipment, and in particular to a device, method, equipment, and medium for realizing the interconnection of large-scale optical CLOS networks. Background technique [0002] As the difficulty of high-density electrical interconnection on the backplane of large-scale communication switching equipment becomes more and more difficult, the call for optical interconnection inside and between switching equipment is getting higher and higher. Compared with the electrical interconnection, the optical interconnection inside the device has many natural advantages. One very important advantage is that it breaks through the restriction of the 40-inch length of the electrical backplane and decouples the connection between the line card and the switch card inside t...
