BLC 6000 Blades
BLC 6314 10 GigE Optical Packet Transport and Optical Line Termination
The BLC 6000 Series FTTP capabilities represent fully integrated advancements of the BLC 6000 Broadband Loop Carrier. The 6314 10 GigE Optical Packet Transport and Optical Line Termination Blade provides a higher capacity Ethernet transport comparable to OC-192 SONET links to support the 6312 Optical Line Termination Blade in the same network and nodes with all of the other BLC 6000 system capabilities such as ADSL2Plus and Lifeline POTS.

The 6314 expands the speed of the Ethernet Protected Switching network transport from 1 Gigabit to 10 Gigabits. This provides the same fast, deterministic route selection that is the basis for the Occam Broadband Loop Carrier system. This can be used in Inter-Offi ce communications links or as part of the access transport to provide high bandwidth for active optical FTTP network to support High Defi nition television and Video-on-Demand applications. With both 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit fiber ports, the 6314 can support a 10 Gigabit network between offi ces that serves a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Protected Switching for FTTP distribution and multiple 1 Gigabit services for ADSL2Plus and lifeline POTS remote distribution points using 6252 and 6152 Blades.
The 6314 10 GigE Optical Packet Transport and Optical Line Termination Blade and BLC 6314 Assembly additionally provide direct active fiber subscriber access distribution. The 6314 Blade is a high performance Ethernet switch with 4 10 Gigabit and 22 Gigabit Ethernet ports: 2 10 GigE optical, 2 10 Gigabit copper, 16 GigE optical and 6 10/100/1000X copper.
The 6314 supports Gigabit Fiber Subscriber ports, which work with a series of Occam Networks Optical Network Terminals to provide a variety of capacities in Lifeline POTS and high speed Internet traffi c and video services. These ports can deliver symmetrical services for business offerings or asymmetrical residential services by setting rates in each direction.
The 6314 Blade can be deployed standalone as the BLC 6314 Assembly, or it can be used in high density deployments with other BLC 6000 Blades in the BLC 6012 high capacity chassis. The single blade BLC 6314 Assembly can be stacked with additional units to add capacity and hardware redundancy, and can be stacked with other BLC 6000 Assemblies for full system capabilities.
Ethernet Transport Flexibility
The 6314 Blade and BLC 6314 Assembly are designed for a wide range of network applications. The fl exibility of Ethernet switching allows any port to be used for any service or transport. Any of the 16 fiber Gigabit Ethernet ports can be connected to other blades in the network to create a 1 GigE feeder transport network from a 10 Gigabit Transport with a virtually unlimited number of nodes and topologies. This fl exibility makes the 6314 ideal for high capacity feeder transport for all services in the loop network.
The IBIA of the BLC 6000 features distributed processing intelligence and a unique blade interconnection system that allows the fl exibility of cost effective confi gurations in low, medium and high density applications. The six copper Gigabit Ethernet ports are typically used for protected interconnection with other blades. The copper GigE ports can also be used to connect other collocated, high speed Ethernet devices to the network such as video headends and Internet routers.
Subscriber Services
The 6314 Blade and BLC 6314 Assembly also serve as an Optical Line Termination for single fi ber connection to Optical Network Terminals at residences and businesses for Internet data, voice and video services. The Gigabit fi ber link can be set for total bandwidth in each direction as well as for allocating bandwidth for each service VLAN. Each service can be assigned to one of eight priority levels. Transparent LAN services can be provided to corporations, universities and other large customers whose VLAN tags are transported across the BLC network for private Ethernet networking.
