LightGAIN RGN-10GXT 10Gbps Tunable Optical Regenerator

The Optelian RGN-10GXT is a multi-rate optical regenerator, tunable over the full C-band of ITU channels, supporting short reach, long & extended reach applications over single mode and multimode fiber.

The RGN-10GXT provides 3R operation (Reshape, Regenerate and Re-time) and supports multiple data rates from 9.953 to 11.3 Gbps. The built-in electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) enables reach performance greater than 100 km.

As part of LightGAIN, the unit mounts in any of the family's active shelves and can operate standalone or under network management. To support standalone operation, the unit provides alarm relay contacts and intuitive status and configuration access via a front panel graphic display, touch pad controls and LEDs. The unit communicates via the shelf backplane to an optional network management interface.

The RGN-10GXT operates in either of the following configurations:

• 4-Port Transponder Mode: client (XFP) and network interfaces (tunable long reach). Facilitates wavelength conversion with SR-1 XFP (up to 10km) or SR MM XFP (up to 300m).
• 2-Port Regenerator Mode (no XFP): Operates with sensitive receiver and tunable long reach transmitter
