Features and Benefits
• Software selectable network protection offers support for UPSR, BLSR, or Linear 1+1 (LAPS)
• EoS (GFP, low order VCAT, and LCAS) allows for more efficient use of SONET bandwidth without affecting
the existing infrastructure
• VLAN support with 802.1Q-in-Q allows for transparent transport of customer VLANs, simplifying the
management of customer Ethernet traffic
• Supports the following Ethernet business services: EPL, EVPL, EPLAN, EVPLAN
• M13 and transmux support enables efficient use of network resources without sacrificing traffic
routing capabilities
• High-density support for DS1, DS3, OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48 tributaries provides a cost-effective
aggregation point for access networks and metro networks
• Flexible n:1 protection for DSn interfaces promotes further operational cost savings
• 8 RU design for central office deployments
• Low power consumption (350W typical) saves on operation expenses
• Cross-connect matrix and management function is provided on one integrated card, reducing both capital
and operational expenses
• Most tributary cards are interchangeable with the LoopStar 800/1600, reducing spare inventory
Space-Saving Design
The compact 8 RU (14" x 17.2" x 13.8") LoopStar Metro 3600 allows for ease of installation in tight rack
spaces in central office environments.
