Optical transport network
An optical transport network (OTN) is a digital wrapper that encapsulates frames of data, to allow multiple data sources to be sent on the same channel. This creates an optical virtual private network for each client signal. ITU-T defines an optical transport network as a set of optical network elements (ONE) connected by optical fiber links, able to provide functionality of transport, multiplexing
This reference is intended for preliminary specialty-cable research. Compatibility, link budgets, fire performance, installation methods, test limits and applicable standards must be verified for the specific project.
