This versatility ensures seamless integration into diverse network environments and meets the needs of data centers, telecom providers, and enterprise networks requiring high-performance, reliable, and scalable transmission solutions.

FS D7000 Series Ensures Transmission Reliability

Multi-layered Protection

Ensuring uninterrupted data flow is paramount for mission-critical DCI networks. The D7000 series ensures network continuity through 1+1 optical path protection (OLP). The robustness of optical networks is enhanced by providing real-time failover from damaged trunk lines to pre-established backup lines, ensuring uninterrupted data flow and continuity of network services, which is critical to maintaining high-quality communications and preventing costly downtime.

Redundant Configuration

The product features robust redundancy configurations, including 1+1 protection for critical components like power supplies and main control units, ensuring seamless failover and continuous operation. With PSUs that can be removed or replaced without shutting down the system, variable-speed fans providing front-to-back airflow for superior cooling, and noise and power reduction, the D7000 series offers comprehensive fault tolerance.
