Infinera DTN: a quality ROADM for managing and protecting network traffic
Whether you’re here to learn more, to repair what you’ve got, or to source a replacement. We’ve got you covered.
Platform details
Infinera’s DTN platform was the first in the world to combine optic speed with digital networking simplicity. It benefits from a plug-and-play architecture and GMPLS-based smart networking features. It is a superb choice if you need a ROADM to transport, manage and protect your networking traffic.
The DTN delivers up to 6.4 TB/s of transmission scalability per fibre alongside 800GB/s of DWDM capacity per day, so you can be confident that this ROADM will cope with your network’s shifting demands.
You’ll find support for SONET/SDH, OTN, video, SAN and Ethernet services inside the DTN alongside compatibility with two-, three- and four-way junction sites. The reliance on the popular 20RU form factor means that it slots into plenty of existing racks, and it also supports multi-chassis configurations across multiple racks.
Elsewhere, the DTN’s feature set rounds out with integrated ODU1 digital switching, full digital performance monitoring for easier management, and integrated digital service protection. It’s a top choice if you want to manage network traffic, and the platform can be quickly supplied by TXO.

Infinera DTN repair
The Infinera DTN is a WDM system for optical transport. It can generate WDM wavelengths and also Add, Drop and Switch them using a technique known as OTN Switching (Optical Transport Networking). It is carrier-class equipment and is used by many large Carriers and Telecom companies for optical transport within their network.
The DTN reference system shown above is the MTC shelf variant. This is also sometimes used as SLTE (Submarine Line Terminating Equipment) where connectivity is provided by means of undersea cables. The shelf must be equipped with the SLM card for this (Submarine Line Module). In Infinera terminology, the interfaces are provided by means of a small interface card that slots into the carrier card called a TAM (tributary adapter module) and then the transceiver fits into this smaller card. The optical transceiver is known as the TOM (tributary optical module).
