Cisco ONS 15530 Overview

The Cisco ONS 15530 is a modular and scalable optical switching and aggregation platform designed to supplement the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP. With the Cisco ONS 15530, users can take advantage of the availability of dark fiber to build a common infrastructure that supports data, SAN (storage area network), and TDM (time-division multiplexing) traffic. For more information about DWDM technology and applications, refer to the Introduction to DWDM Technology publication and the Cisco ONS 15530 Planning and Design Guide.

The Cisco ONS 15530 is designed to meet or exceed stringent ISP (Internet service provider) requirements for product availability and reliability.

Note Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ONS 15500 Series for important safety information you should know before working with the system.
