The Sorrento Networks OCM2 is a multi-service optical interface card for the GigaMux Series chassis, combining fiber optic and IP/Ethernet technology to deliver high-speed data transmission across optical transport networks. It provides traffic management, multiplexing, and Layer 2 networking capabilities including VLAN tagging, with support for legacy SDH and PDH service adaptation. The card implements Layer 1 AES-256 encryption compliant with NIST DP800-90A using Diffie-Hellman key exchange, and is engineered for ultra-low latency operation suitable for high-frequency trading and disaster recovery applications.
