OLP (Optical Fiber Line Auto Switch Protection Equipment)--Optical Fiber Line Auto Switch Protection Equipment. Optical fiber automatic switching protection system (OLP for short) is an automatic monitoring and protection system that is independent of the communication transmission system and completely built on the physical link of the optical cable.


The line protector OLP is a transmission device working on the optical layer. It has the characteristics of independent and transparent transmission signal, safe and reliable, and fast fault recovery. It can help users to build a non-blocking, highly reliable, safe and flexible optical communication network with strong anti-disaster ability.
OLP adopts 1:1 selective transmission and selective reception protection mode - working business signals are transmitted along working optical fibers, and non-working optical fibers can send secondary business signals. The OLP devices at both ends, according to the status of the active optical fiber and the standby optical fiber, synchronously choose to work on the active optical fiber or switch to the standby optical fiber. The spare fiber can transmit other services with lower priority, similar to MSP protection in traditional SDH networks.
