G6S and 2RS Modules
For IBM® GDPS® and STP Applications

Features & benefits

  • Multiplexes signals carrying STP electrically, resulting in up to 67% more efficiency than competing 3R transponderbased solutions
  • Extends the distance capabilities of GDPS implementations up to 100 km
  • Supports ETR/CLO and STP timing signals on the same system for hitless migration from legacy GDPS
  • Supports multiple client types including GbE, FICON®, ESCON® and SONET, as well as any FC rate—1.0625 Gb/s, 2.125 Gb/s, 4.25 Gb/s and 10.7 Gb/s—on a single 2.7G OTU-1 or 10.7G OTU-2 wavelength
  • Ensures complete data integrity through “touchless” transport using ITU G.709 OTN
  • Provides carrier-grade five-9s of availability
  • Scales to meet current and future application bandwidth requirements with linear scalability to 40 10G wavelengths.
