This ADVA FSP 150CM Optical Networking has been tested to power only, as we lack the correct testing equipment, and environment, to test this further.

Cosmetically the unit is in good condition, there are a few minor marks, the left power is dead, but the right power works. No other damage is noted.

ADVA Optical Networking announced today that Openreach, the infrastructure division of BT Group, has deployed the ADVA FSP 150 as the foundation of its new EAD 10G service.

The new point-to-point 10Gbit/s Ethernet Access Direct (EAD) service will provide Openreach’s customers with 10 times the bandwidth at little more than twice the price of the current 1Gbit/s product. Openreach is utilizing ADVA Optical Networking’s technology to respond to the rapidly growing demand for bandwidth from enterprise customers across the UK.

The new EAD 10G solution saves space, enables flexible deployment, and is less expensive than other high-bandwidth products based on optical fiber. The service fully supports the sector’s increasingly stringent timing requirements with Synchronous Ethernet. What’s more, it enables Openreach to easily roll out more EAD functionality in the future.
