Product Technology
This chapter presents the general system technology and the available protection architectures for Cisco’s dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) metro system, the Cisco ONS 15200.
1.1 Optical System Description
The ONS 15200 DWDM metro system transports data over wavelengths using
15200 can carry up to sixteen channels of data in the following bit rates and formats:
•155 Mbps – SONET
•622 Mbps – SONET
•2.5 Gbps – SONET
•100 Mbps – 1.25 Gbps,
The optical layer is independent of the electronic protocol that is external to the ONS 15200 system. You can use any
1.2 Optical Channels
In the ONS 15200 system, optical channels transport information between two
1.2.1 Unprotected Channels
In an unprotected channel, protection fiber is not available. Only one fiber sends traffic to the client layer of the receiving node. You can use unprotected channels where protection is not needed or if the client layer provides protection. Cisco recommends that you only use protection in one layer and avoid
