MOBILE OPTICAL PLUGGABLES Alliance (MOPA) releases technical paper version 2.0

Mobile Optical Pluggables Alliance (MOPA) has released technical paper version 2.0. The paper includes two new Appendices and two new Annexes to the main technical paper: Appendix A compares the MOPA blueprints with their closest existing physical layer standards from IEEE and ITU. Appendix B introduces a new framework and classes for optical pluggables wrt their impact on tight transport synchronization. Annex A makes a proposal for a new 48 ch DWDM system in O-band after makes a general analysis of the options. Finally, Annex B builds on existing ITU-T frameworks to outline an improved channel and new message types for remote management of optical modules, including remote tuning.
