Modules

You can independently configure each of the four interfaces to support the Optical Transport Network (OTN) wrapper. Combining the XFP and OTN configuration enables multiple configurations. For example, two gray XFPs with no OTN on 2-port and 2-DWDM XFPs with OTN wrapper enabled allow this card to act as two 10G transponders in a single board. Using amplification and dispersion compensation, the OTU2 XPonder card is capable of a 1000-km reach. When operated within the outlined specifications, each card will transport the 10-Gbps signal with a maximum bite error rate (BER) of 10E-15.

The OTU2 XPonder cards are deployable in the 12 multiservice interface card slots of the Cisco ONS 15454 platform, in systems with or without cross-connect cards. The only required common card is the appropriate timing, communications, and control card (TCC2P). It is therefore possible to have twenty-four 10G transponders on a single Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP shelf.

The 4-port XFP-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet XPonder Card for the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) simplifies the integration and transport of OTU2, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel, and OC-192/STM-64 interfaces and services into enterprises or metropolitan-area (metro) and regional service provider networks.

Features and Benefits

• Flexible protection options: The PSM is an addition to the extensive array of protection mechanisms on the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP, which gives customers the flexibility to choose the appropriate level of protection based on cost and their requirements for network resiliency.
• Cost effectiveness: PSM-based protection is one of the most cost-effective means to provide service resiliency in an optical network. The PMS gives customers an affordable entry-level solution.
• Fast switchover performance: The PSM completes the service switchover in less than 50 milliseconds, which helps ensure minimal disruption to data traffic.
• Easy provisioning and management: The PSM fully integrates with the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP through Cisco Transport Controller.
• Support for amplified networks: The PSM also works with the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP amplifiers to extend the reach of the network.
