The ROBOfiber ROC3-OLP35S is an advanced optical 1:1 protection card engineered for the ROC3 optical transport platform. Tailored explicitly for simplex (single-strand) BiDi optical links, this module simultaneously supports both 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. Operating independently of telecom protocols, it delivers extraordinarily fast fault protection based strictly on the physical condition of the optical link to maintain uninterrupted transmission.
Integrating its own internal laser source for probing the fiber path, the OLP35S card monitors link integrity and autonomously restores the primary optical circuit once operational parameters are met. To simplify maintenance, the card is hot-swappable; when managed via a ROC3-NMC card, the chassis stores the configuration parameters so any replacement module is automatically provisioned upon insertion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the ROC3-OLP35 and ROC3-OLP35S?
The standard OLP35 operates on duplex fiber circuits, whereas the OLP35S is designed specifically to protect simplex (single-strand) BiDi optical links, handling 1310/1550nm wavelengths simultaneously.
Does the ROC3-OLP35S require external testing equipment to identify link faults?
No, the card integrates an onboard probing laser operating at 1310nm and 1550nm to independently verify the optical path's integrity and automatically restore primary circuits when conditions are stable.
What is the procedure for replacing a failed ROC3-OLP35S card?
Because the ROC3 platform supports hot-swapping and centralized configuration retention (via the ROC3-NMC module), you can pull the old card and insert the new one without service disruption. The new card will automatically sync with the chassis' saved settings.
