Abstract

An aspect of the present invention is an optical transmission device including a connector that is able to be connected to an accommodation module accommodating an optical fiber such that optical communication is performed, an optical switch that receives an optical signal from the connector and outputs an optical signal to the connector, an optical switch controller that controls the optical switch, an up wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer that multiplexes light of a plurality of wavelengths output from the optical switch and outputs the multiplexed light to a transmission line, and a down wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer that demultiplexes light input from the transmission line and outputs the demultiplexed light to the optical switch, wherein the connector can be connected to any one of a one-core accommodation module and a two-core accommodation module as the accommodation module.

Claims (22)

1 . An optical transmission device comprising:

a connector that is able to be connected to an accommodation module accommodating an optical fiber such that optical communication is performed;

an optical switch that receives an optical signal from the connector and outputs an optical signal to the connector;

an optical switch controller that controls the optical switch;

an up wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer that multiplexes light of a plurality of wavelengths output from the optical switch and outputs the multiplexed light to a transmission line; and

a down wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer that demultiplexes light input from the transmission line and outputs the demultiplexed light to the optical switch,

wherein

the connector is able to be connected to any one of a one-core accommodation module and a two-core accommodation module as the accommodation module.

2 . The optical transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the connector is able to directly connect an optical fiber without passing through the accommodation module.

3 . The optical transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the connector is connected to the accommodation module through one port.

4 . The optical transmission device according to claim 1 , further comprising a wavelength management controller that dynamically allocates a wavelength to be used by a communication destination connected via the accommodation module.

5 . The optical transmission device according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of connectors; and

an identification part that is able to identify the connector to which the accommodation module connecting an optical fiber is connected, among the plurality of connectors.

6 . The optical transmission device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the identification part is an LED lamp, and a state of the LED lamp is remotely controllable.

7 . An optical transmission device comprising:

a connector that is able to be connected to an accommodation module accommodating an optical fiber such that optical communication is performed;

an optical switch that receives an optical signal from the connector and outputs an optical signal to the connector;

an up wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer that multiplexes light of a plurality of wavelengths output from the optical switch and outputs the multiplexed light to a transmission line; and

a down wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer that demultiplexes light input from the transmission line and outputs the demultiplexed light to the optical switch,

wherein

the connector is able to be connected to any one of a one-core accommodation module and a two-core accommodation module as the accommodation module.
