ESCON Aggregation Cards

The ESCON aggregation card is a 10-port card for ESCON (Enterprise Systems Connection) traffic. The ESCON card converts the 10 client signals from optical to electrical and then aggregates them into a single 2.5-Gbps signal. This aggregated signal is sent through the backplane and the active switch fabric to either a 10G ITU trunk card or a 10-Gbps uplink card. The cross connection between the two cards is configured using the CLI (command-line interface). The ESCON aggregation card has a redundant backplane connection.

The ESCON aggregation card uses multi-mode 62.5/125 um optical cable with SFPs (small form factor pluggables) and MT-RJ connectors for the client signals. (See Figure 1-21.)

Note The SFPs (part number 15500-XVRA-01A2 ONS 15530 ESCON-1310nm MM-MTRJ) must be purchased separately.

Note A patch cable to adapt MT-RJ connectors to standard ESCON connectors directly or intermediately to SC-type connectors may be required.

This signal is sent through the switch fabric to a 10G ITU trunk card or a 10-Gbps uplink card. The 10Gbps ITU trunk card converts the aggregated signal to an ITU-compliant wavelength, or channel. The 10-Gbps uplink card converts the aggregated signal to transmit to another shelf.
