Summary:
|
This Supplement describes design considerations for repeatered, repeaterless and optically amplified systems supporting SDH and OTN signals in optical submarine cable systems. In particular, this Supplement focuses on the specific matters relevant to the optical fibre submarine cable systems.
This Supplement also describes a common way of thinking of the requirements for designing the optical fibre submarine cable systems and aims at consolidating and expanding on materials related to several Recommendations, including [ITU-T G.971], [ITU-T G.972], [ITU-T G.973], [ITU-T G.974], [ITU-T G.975], [ITU-T G.975.1], [ITU-T G.976], [ITU-T G.977] and [ITU-T G.978].
This Supplement should also allow a reader to better understand the specifications in the fibre, components, and system interface Recommendations currently developed in Q.5/15, Q.7/15, and Q.8/15, respectively. This Supplement should not prevent technical development relevant to the optical fibre cable systems technologies.
