C37.94 Teleprotection Pluggable

Features and benefits

1. This IEEE C37.94–compliant smart SFP can reside in any 1GbE port in a Ciena router while other ports can be used for additional services. There is no need for a separate multiplexer or large chassis with fixed line cards.

2. Deployment is fast and flexible, and scaling can be incremental in a pay-as-you grow approach. The result is fewer boxes, taking up less space and using less power.

3. Highly resilient design provides dual path active-active hitless protection.

4. Fast fault isolation helps utilities quickly detect and isolate problems on power lines to prevent outages from spreading and keep more customers online.

5. High-speed protection signaling delivers the low-latency, dependable communications needed to carry trip and blocking signals between substations.

6. Equipment and asset protection reduces damage to critical infrastructure by ensuring protective actions happen almost instantly when abnormal conditions occur.
