7360 ISAM & FANT-F Card Optics

Post by popquiz »

Has anyone found any additional optics that work with the 7360 FANT-F card. We are looking for ALU Optics if possible for standard CWDM wavelengths for both 1GbE and 10GbE equipment. Would like to stay ALU compliant if possible but have had limited success with ALU providing viable options from their catalog or where they have for 10GbE there are some missing wavelengths.

Additionally, documentation for the ALU 7360 ISAM seems to be somewhat conflicting or at a minimum confusing to me: Chapter 4 Optical Modules lists characteristics of approved optical modules, but with the disclaimer under section 4.2 that states; Table 4-1 describes the Alcatel-Lucent approved optical modules for the 7360 ISAM FX. See Chapter 6, Table 6-12 for part numbers and the cards that these modules support. So by this reading the table 4-1 lists SFP+s describing them all as 10 GE-R (but at least gives the reach in a separate column, so this can be deduced as to which one to use for proper distance) and where in Section 6.9 Table 6-12 only allows for the purchase of 3FE 62600 AA, 3FE 62600 DA, 3FE 63264 AA, and 3FE 65831 AA SFP+s, of these the first two are both only 10km reach. @ 1310nm, the last two are an 850nm version and a 1550nm version @ 40km reach.

From what I have been told the ISAM 7360 has been release for GA since 2010, what I can't understand is the relatively limited range of optics available that does not include to put the shelf in service in a GPON deployment.

Am I missing something? Please see the attached documentation.
