Product Brief
Nortel Optical Metro 5040/5080 platforms
Product overview
The Optical Metro (OM) 5040 and
5080 are highly-flexible CWDM/
DWDM access units that offer the
broadest range of broadband services on
a compact 1U platform. They extend
the value of the Nortel Metro WDM
portfolio by delivering a small foot-
print, low power consumption and a
flexible on-ramp to a WDM network.
The Optical Metro 5040 and 5080 are
typically deployed as Customer Located
Equipment (CLE) to support Data
Center extension, business services and
DSLAM backhaul, access network fiber
relief and managed wavelength service
delivery over converged CWDM and/or
DWDM Wide Area Networks (WANs).
The Optical Metro 5040/5080 simpli-
fies multi-protocol service delivery by
consolidating complex overlay networks,
while increasing network efficiency
and lowering Total Cost of Ownership
(TCO).

The Optical Metro 5040 and Optical
Metro 5080 platforms are equipped
with up to four or eight high-speed
client service channels respectively,
whereby each client channel supports a
bit rate range from 125 Mbps to 4.25
Gbps. Both the client side and line
side interfaces are Small Form-factor
Pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers for
a “pay-as-you-grow” service architecture
and are fully replaceable for simplified
maintenance. Each service port is inde-
pendently provisioned, managed and
monitored using the web-based manage-
ment interface.

In either transponder (Figure 1) and/
or regenerator (Figure 2) setup modes,
both the Optical Metro 5040 and 5080
have the flexibility to support point-to-
or regenerator (Figure 2) setup modes,
both the Optical Metro 5040 and 5080
have the flexibility to support point-to-
point, linear ADM, hub and spoke, and
ring topologies with multiple protection
schemes. The Optical Metro 5040/5080
platforms are designed to meet the
service provider and enterprise require-
ments of today, with the agility to scale
as service requirements evolve.
