Summary:
The increasing number of channels in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems has led to the need for wiring involving a large number of optical fibers in the system racks. We have developed a novel scalable optical fiber wiring system designed to realize as many as 10,000-fiber shuffled interconnections without fiber congestion. We propose a scheme for constructing a large-scale shuffler capable of permuting interconnected fibers that employs plural optical fiber sheets, and for arranging optical fibers without congestion in racks. We constructed a 16,384-fiber shuffler system with sixty-four 256-fiber shuffler sheets and 16-fiber fiber physical contact (FPC) connectors for a 128128 switch system with 1128 planar lightwave circuit (PLC) type thermo-optic switches (TOSW). Input here the part of summary.
