Waystream adds telemetry to its access range options


www.waystream.com


Swedish switch provider Waystream has introduced a telemetry data collection to its line of access-products. Te telemetry function means


that switches actively collect measurements – more than 1,300 different data points are initially supported – and send these to a database at short intervals. Te data provides an insight into the network performance and helps operators identify and resolve problems that might affect the service quality in the network. Te telemetry function is


designed so it can be used directly with leading database solutions. Tis allows operators to get started quickly and benefit from the telemetry data using popular and well-known tools for visualisation and analysis, such as InfluxDB and Grafana. Te collection is designed to be


independent of a central system. Te collection will continue and be stored locally in the switch until it can be uploaded if a temporary communications problem prevents immediate upload.


With its DAFFI series DataPixel has expanded its product range by three low-cost fibre and connector interferometers. Te three instruments are designed to be robust and provide fast, reliable measurements in all installation and laboratory environments. Each model is designed to meet


the requirements of a specific connector family. With the Daffi SF, the dimensions of single fibre connectors and individual fibres can be measured without contact. Daffi MT instruments are used for


multi-channel connectors. Te MT12 is specially designed for MPO connectors with rows of 12 fibres, and the MT16 version is designed for characterising multiple connectors with 16 x X fibres. All DAFFI models can be


connected to desktop, laptop, and tablet PCs via USB 2.0 / USB 3.0 interfaces. With the company’s BLINK soſtware, the data can be transferred to numerous databases or assembled in a PDF, HTML, or CSV report.

R&M introduces angles model to patch panel range


www.rdm.com


R&M has extended its family of high density Eliso patch panels with an angled model. It is designed to save network technicians and installers a few steps, both in assembly and in cable management in the rack. Te new 19-inch angled panel offers space for 48 ports on one height


Nokia chipsets to aid operators with 10G PON introduction


www.nokia.com


Now available from Nokia is the Quillion family of chipsets that are designed to power next- generation massive scale access networks. Te chipsets will allow


operators to easily introduce 10G PON in their fibre networks and to serve more users from ultra- high-speed G.fast access nodes. Quillion powers Nokia’s 16-


port Multi-PON line card, which supports both GPON and NG- PON on each port. Tis allows operators with an existing GPON network to simply ‘switch on’ NG-PON services on each port without re-cabling or disrupting the GPON service. Te range has additionally


been optimised to allow for low-latency applications that are critical for 5G transport and has built-in programmability to support intents that pave the way toward automated workflows, such as network slicing for 5G transport. It also gives operators with


copper infrastructure access to high density G.fast and Vplus solutions. Helping to reduce rack


space by 50 per cent and power consumption by 10 per cent, Nokia’s enhanced copper solutions with Quillion chipsets enable operators to support more customers without increasing the cabinet size.


unit. Te RJ45 connections for the copper cabling are arranged in two rows. Te angle out of the rack is just 100mm. Connection modules of the types Cat. 6A EL and Cat. 6A ISO Special from R&M independently lock into the module holders of the ELISO patch panel. Installers simply click the modules into the holder. Mounting is completed without screws, brackets or other mechanical aids. Te many patch cords have more space on the front than with


comparable flat patch panels. In spite of the large number of ports, they do not have to be threaded into clips or bent much. Tey are routed flat, parallel and stress-free. An integrated rear cable support takes care of strain relief. Additional cable tie hooks help installers fix cables at a flat angle. Te simplified handling also means less time has to be spent on cable and network management.
