INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION
ITU-T RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
Rec. No. : G.958
Title : Digital line systems based on the synchronous digital
ierarchy for use on optical fibre cables
Study Group : XV - Transmission Systems and Equipment
Version : New
Date of adoption : 1990
Notes :
Prior to the advent of SDH the scope of the design of optical line
systems included a large number of parameters such as transmit power
range, receiver overload and sensitivity, line code, operating
wavelength, operation and maintenance features, etc. This led to a
great variety of designs, each having a specific combined
optimization of the parameters, the only common parameters being the
attenuation and dispersion of the optical path between points S and R.
Those systems specified in Recommendations G.955 and G.956 provided
only longitudinal compatibility, i.e. the possibility of parallel
installation on the same cable route. Interconnection between two
operators could be achieved either through joint engineering of the
optical link, or interconnection at a hierarchical level.
Synchronous line systems described in Recommendation G.958 are
intended to provide transverse compatibility, i.e. the possibility
of mixing various manufacturers' equipments within a single optical
section. This is based on compliance with bit rates, frame structure
and detailed mappings as defined in Recommendations G.707, G.708 and
G.709, with general characteristics and functionalities as given in
Recommendations G.782 and G.783, and with operation and maintenance
as specified in Recommendation G.784.
For the optical parameters of the interfaces used in synchronous
line systems, transverse compatibility is based on compliance with
Recommendation G.957.
