Recommendation G.957 (06/99)

Classification of optical interfaces
It is expected that optical fibres will be used in SDH-based systems for both inter-office transport
between stations and in intra-office applications for connecting equipment within a single station. By
appropriate combinations of transmitters and receivers, power budgets for optical fibre line systems
can be achieved which are optimized in terms of attenuation/dispersion and cost with respect to the
various applications. However, to simplify the development of transverse compatible systems, it is
desirable to limit the number of application categories and corresponding sets of optical interface
specifications for standardization.
As shown in Table 1, this Recommendation recognizes three broad application categories:
–
intra-office corresponding to interconnect distances less than approximately 2 km;
–
short-haul inter-office corresponding to interconnect distances of approximately 15 km;
–
long-haul inter-office corresponding to interconnect distances of approximately 40 km in the
1310 nm window and approximately 80 km in the 1550 nm window.

These are target distances to be used for classification and not for specification. The possibility of
applying the set of optical parameters in this Recommendation to single-channel systems on G.655
fibre is not to be precluded by the designation of the fibre types in the application codes.
Within each category, it is possible to consider use of either nominal 1310 nm sources on optical
fibre complying with Recommendation G.652 or nominal 1550 nm sources on optical fibre
complying with Recommendations G.652, G.653 or G.654. This Recommendation covers both
possibilities for the two inter-office applications and considers only nominal 1310 nm sources on
G.652 fibre for the intra-office application. Since the overall system characteristics and specific
values for the optical parameters generally depend on system bit rate, it is convenient to classify the
SDH optical interfaces based on applications considered in this Recommendation using the set of
application codes shown in Table 1. This application code is constructed in the following way:
