The Cisco ONS 15216 4 Channel Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (OADMs) are a set of passive OADMs that allow the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) to address the edge of the optical network in a cost-effective manner without sacrificing operational ease of use. The Cisco ONS 15216 4 Channel OADMs are well suited to applications with minimal wavelength requirements and tight space and power constraints, such as cell site and customer premises terminations. Ten models are available, covering a 40-channel 100-GHz channel plan.

The Cisco ONS 15216 DWDM and CWDM passive optical modules are the new ONS 15216 FlexLayer units used as product enhancement to make the MSTP edge transport portfolio price competitive in price sensitive applications. The Cisco ONS 15216 DWDM and CWDM passive optical modules are 1 rack unit (RU) high and can be installed on a 19-inch (482,6 mm), 23-inch (584,2 mm) EIA standard racks, or on a 19-inch (482,6 mm) IEC rack or on a 600 mm x 600 mm or 600 mm x 300 mm ETSI rack.

The Cisco ONS 15216 Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM) is a passive device used for combining and separating a wavelength operating at 1510 nm from a composite dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) signal, while allowing other wavelengths to pass through.
