AT5000 1RU Optical A/B Switch offers a high reliable, flexible, optical fiber route switching
platform with low insertion loss and high performance. It is suited for redundant CATV high
quality video transmission system, fiber redundant ring, FTTX Video Overlay with 1550nm Optical
transmitter and EDFA, to protect the optic path, and fiber ring architecture.
The OPSAB maintains optical output in the event of failure of an optical input. The unit includes
an electrically-operated optical switch. The switch can be activated both manually and
automatically. Together with ACT 1RU AT5000 XMOD and EDFA optical amplifiers, the 1RU OPSW
A/B Switch provides an ideal fiber protection mechanism for long distance video and short,
medium video overlay solution in traditional HFC network and also high density FTTX networks
to achieve the strict reliability requirement.
AT5000 OPSW receiver is equipped with intuitive front panel LCD display to make operator’s life
easier. The optical receiver is packaged in a self-contained 19” sub-rack of 1 RU with universal
mains power supply and SNMP management.

1. Has both auto and manual function
In auto mode, the default main input is input A with input B for backup. Once there is a failure
or the optical power is lower than the set value, it will switch to the backup line. Once
conditions are back to normal and the main line is functional again, it will switch to the main
line automatically. When the machine is in manual, it can switch to either the main or backup
line. The default condition is auto mode.
2. Independent optical RF detector for both inputs
TP A for input A, TP B for input B. When optical input power ≥0 dBm, the RF detector function
becomes available. The RF detector will turn on in “Auto” mode; when the detected RF value
is lower than the minimum values required, it means there is no RF signal on this input port,
and then the detector will switch automatically to another signal input. If it detects an RF
signal, the equipments will switch automatically to the normal signal input. If no RF signal is
detected on either input, the optical switch will stop working. When the optical input power
≤3 dBm, the RF detect function will turn off to avoid errors. The factory default RF detector
function is the “Auto” working mode.
3. Power cut protection function
When the optical switch fails or power cut, it will continue to work in the working line to
make sure the network not cut.
4. Dual hot plug-in power supply
If one power supply fails, the operator can change the power supply in working condition, no
need to open the machine.
5. Switch power threshold can be changed
The operator can set the switch power threshold by button or by SNMP
6. Works in the -15 dBm to +24 dBm range
7. SNMP support both software and IE

1. Please examine this machine, shelf and the power to see if the power supply is good. Keep
space at least 4.5 cm in the shelf.
2. Keep the machine good grounded.
3. Please make sure the connector is clean before installation. Please clean the fiber
connector with pure alcohol before insert the fiber.
4. After connecting the power, please turn on the power in the back.

Notes:
1. When the mode is set in “Manual”, the machine can switched automatically, so we advise
to set it in “auto”.
2. In order to protect the fiber connector, turn on the power after the fiber connected.
2. Don’t direct the output to human body, Please avoid eyes directly to output.
The user can use a web browser to check the working conditions and basic parameters of the
amplifier. The amplifier supports IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and other web browsers. The
following examples are based on Opera browser.
