Safety Requirements
Caution!
To reduce risk of electrical shock, equipment damage, and fire and to
maintain proper operation, ensure that the safety requirements stated
hereunder are met!
Before Installing
Power Ensure that all power to the LDx00 is cut off. Specifically, disconnect all LDx00
power cords from the power source/s (line/mains).
Inspection Ensure by inspection that no part is damaged.
Covers Leave the protective covers (e.g., dust caps on optical connectors, etc.) on the
LDx00 at all times until it is about to be installed.
Site Reserve one of the following sites for the LDx00:
LD400
− 482 x 89 or 2U2x 324 mm 3(19 x 3.5 or 2U x 12.8 in 3) space in a 19-
inch rack,
or
− Flat, stable, non-conductive static-free surface.
LD800
− 482 x 200 or 4.5U x 267 mm 3(19 x 7.8 or 4.5U x 10.5 in 3) space in a
19-inch rack,
or
− Flat, stable, non-conductive static-free surface.
Before Powering On
Blank Panels Ensure that vacant slots of the LDx00 are covered with Blank Panels. (This
protects the user against electrical shock and the LDx00 against harmful physical
intrusion, and increases operation reliability by assuring circulation of sufficient
cooling air throughout the LDx00.)
Temperature Operate the LDx00 only at a location where the ambient temperature is in the
range 0 to 45 oC (32 to 113 oF).
Humidity Operate the LDx00 only at a location where the ambient humidity is non-
condensing and less than 85%.
Dust Ensure that the site for the LDx00 is dust-free. (Less than 1,000,000 particles per
cubic meter or 30,000 particles per cubic foot is OK.)
Cooling Air Ensure that the air-flow around the LDx00 and through the air vents is not
obstructed. In addition, ensure that there is a clearance of at least 25 mm (1 inch)
between the air vents and nearby objects.
Power Ensure that the power to the LDx00 is:
21U = 1¾ inch or 44.45 mm

LD400
AC: 100 to 120 Vac, 60 Hz or 200 to 240 Vac, 50 Hz
DC: -48 to -60 Vdc.
LD800
AC: 100 to 120 Vac, 60 Hz or 200 to 240 Vac, 50 Hz
DC: -48 to -60 Vdc.
Power Cord The AC power cord of the LDx00 must have either of the following specifications:
The power cord to be used with a 115 Volt AC configuration must be a minimum
type SJT (SVT) 18/3, rated 250 Volts AC, 10 Amps with a maximum length of 4.5
meters (15 feet). One end is terminated in an IEC 320 attachment plug, the other
in a NEMA 5-15P plug.
The power cord to be used with a 230 Volt AC configuration must be a minimum
type SJT (SVT) 18/3, rated 250 Volts AC, 10 Amps with a maximum length of 4.5
meters (15 feet). One end is terminated in an IEC 320 attachment plug. The other
end is terminated as required by the country where it will be installed.
During Operation
Do not connect or disconnect cables and/or power cords during lightning strikes or
thunderstorms.
Servicing
All servicing must be carried out only by qualified service personnel. Before servicing, ensure that
all power to the LDx00 is cut off!

Chapter 1
Overview
Function
LDx00 is a multi-functional modular wavelength-division multiplexer that can operate using
DWDM and CWDM technologies. Model 400 can create as many as four virtual fibers (channels3)
on a single physical fiber. Model 800 can create as many as eight virtual fibers on a single
physical fiber. Each virtual fiber is fully independent of the others and can carry data at the same
rate as a dedicated physical fiber.
Advantages
The capability to create several virtual fibers on a single physical fiber enables additional services
to be quickly and easily provisioned on existing fiberoptic links – without the need to add fibers.
The LDx00 is a high-speed, quick, easy, and secure solution for efficient bandwidth upgrade of
existing fiber infrastructures. It can incorporate existing equipment, simultaneously supports and
is transparent to multiple communication protocols, provides high throughput and efficiency
(having no inherent lapse times), and allows for simply executed add-on future expansion.
Features
• Metro, access, and campus network applicability
• Handles multiple protocols concurrently
• Supports mixed data speeds
• Transparent to network topology and protocols
• Point-to-point, ring, star, and multi-point network topologies
• Maximizes fiber utilization while simplifying network design and reducing cost
• Optics-only channels – no electro-optic or opto-electric conversions
• Scalable design for up to 4 (for LD400) and 8 (for LD800) independent channels with no
Interruption-of-Service

• Add, drop, and pass-through functionality
• System and fiberoptic cabling redundancy protection option
• Standard-compliant Protective Automatic Laser Shutdown (ALS/APR) mechanism.
• Protective Link Integrity Notification (LIN) mechanism.
• RLB testability
• WDM I/O Signal Power Monitoring of local and remote LDx00s
