Optical Line Protection

C-LIGHT Optical Line Protection (OLP) is a critical redundancy solution in optical communication networks, ensuring zero service interruption by monitoring signal strength and quality in real time, coupled with automatic redundant path switching (e.g., 1+1 or 1:N protection architectures). It achieves millisecond-level recovery during fiber cuts, signal degradation, or equipment failures. Core components include optical switches, power detection modules, and intelligent controllers, supporting bidirectional/unidirectional protection modes for long-haul backbones, metro networks, and data center interconnects. Advancements focus on AI-driven dynamic routing optimization, multi-domain coordination (e.g., OTN-OLP synergy), and predictive maintenance to meet ultra-high availability and low-latency demands in 5G, cloud computing, and industrial IoT applications.

OLP Optical Line Protection System
The OLP optical line protection subsystem launched by C-Light Network communication Co., Ltd.is based on the advanced development of optical switch technology. It’s an automatic monitoring and protection system independent of communication transmission system and completely based on the physical link of optical cable. The system can automatically switch the signal to the optical fiber of the protection path when performance deterioration or blocking of work path is detected. In this way, an optical communication network with high reliability, safety, flexibility and strong disaster resistance is established.

OBP Optical Bypass Protection System
The OBP optical bypass protection subsystem (Bypass) is an intelligent optical path switching system. It belongs to the physical layer equipment and is applied to pure optical network environment. It can automatically identify the power supply status and optical signal output status of network nodes. When the local optical equipment fails (including power interruption, hardware or software failures), it can instantaneously switch to the bypass optical path, and the communication line will bypass the local equipment (i.e. the fault node), thus avoiding the total resistance obstacle caused by the fault node and ensuring the normal system connectivity.
Function			Parameter
lApplicable to all kinds of gateway equipment, such as DPI equipment, firewall, IPS, UTM, IDP, spam gateway, anti-virus gateway, special DDos equipment, special logic isolation equipment in all fields, etc. lSupport power-off and power-on retention function: Bypass equipment’s power-off or power-on, does not affect the switching status of work routing to ensure the normal operation, and has hot-swap function. lUnique power storage function to ensure that no .wrong switch occurs even when the bypass equipment itself is power off. lAutomatic instantaneous switch to fault nodes without human intervention, switching time < 20ms. lOBP card and network management card are independent of each other and have no influence on each other lSupport multi-kinds of graphical interface network management, such as SNMP, Web lSupport AC power 220V, DC power -48V, and 1+1 power input protection			CL-OTN-2900 1RU： 442 (W)×280 (D) ×44 (H) mm
