Versions

Two versions of ODU are available: ODU AS and ODU ASN. The two versions are similar. Differencies will
be pointed out.
Regarding ODU ASN, the units without isolator have SIAE code GE9xxx, the units with isolator have
SIAE code GE8xxx.

consumption refers to the equipment loaded with traffic on Ethernet and 16xE1 interfaces. For
ALCplus2 the power consumption refers to the IDU with Ethernet and 16xE1 interfaces fully loaded.
In ALCplus2 1+1 (all version) the two power connectors are in parallel.
