PacketLight Networks Releases PL-1000D Offering Complete Fiber Optic Network Diagnostic SolutionPacketLight Networks, a leading provider of DWDM and optical fiber networking solutions, today announces the introduction of the PL-1000D fiber optic diagnostic solution, to consistently monitor signal quality and network faults in a single device. Delivering non-intrusive network visibility, the PL-1000D provides carriers, dark fiber providers and enterprises a strategic asset for real-time network diagnostics and improved service level agreements (SLAs). The solution offers an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) and an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) integrated into a 1U box for minimal rack space and improved CAPEX and OPEX (News - Alert). The PL-1000D is also the most comprehensive solution for maintaining secure networks. It detects changes in the fiber characteristics, such as tapping, and works in combination with embedded Layer-1 encryption to protect data across the fiber. "The PL-1000D was developed as a response to high demand from our customers wanting a cost-ffective solution for better network visibility and accurate monitoring of fiber signal and faults," says Koby Reshef, CEO of PacketLight Networks. "We responded by delivering one device with OTDR and OSA functionality for constant non-intrusive network monitoring to reduce maintenance costs and detect issues prior to service degradation. This is another strong example of our commitment to delivering end-to-end solutions that reduce our customers' CAPEX and OPEX." The PL-1000D monitors up to eight fiber strands consecutively and operates standalone over dark fiber, lighted fiber, or a third party network without impacting network traffic. The device monitors the entire DWDM C-band spectrum and provides the optical spectrum, OSNR, and OTDR measurements of the fiber. This reduces the costs and time associated with deploying technicians to the field with dedicated test equipment.
