Chapter 1 Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Shelf Assembly Hardware

Electrical Interface Assemblies

1.2.3 Mounting Multiple Nodes

Most standard 2200 mm racks can hold numerous (up to 6 or 7) ONS 15310-MA SDH nodes and a fuse and alarm panel.

1.3 Electrical Interface Assemblies

High-density EIAs are attached to the ONS 15310-MA SDH shelf assembly backplane to provide up to 126 transmit and receive E1 connections through six Champ connectors per side (A and B) or six transmit and receive E3/DS3 connections through six BNC connectors per side. The EIAs are designed to support E1, E3/DS3 signals. The appropriate cable assembly is required depending on the type of signal.

You can install EIAs on one or both sides of the ONS 15310-MA SDH. As you face the rear of the shelf assembly, the right side is the A side (15310-EIA-HD-A) and the left side is the B side (15310-EIA-HD-B).

Figure 1-3shows the J connectors on the A- and B-side high-density EIAs installed on the

ONS 15310-MA SDH.

15310-MA specifications

Cisco Systems has established itself as a leader in the networking domain, offering a wide array of solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses. Among its impressive product lineup are the Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA routers, designed to provide advanced network performance and reliability.

The Cisco 15310-CL is a versatile platform that primarily serves as a carrier-class router aimed at supporting high-speed data and voice services. It is built to handle the demands of large enterprises and service providers, offering a robust design that ensures maximum uptime and performance. One of its standout features is its modular architecture, which enables users to customize their configurations based on specific application needs. This scalability allows for future expansion without the need for a complete hardware overhaul.

Key technologies integrated into the Cisco 15310-CL include high-density Ethernet interfaces and a comprehensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocol support. The device is capable of supporting multiple types of connections, including TDM, ATM, and Ethernet. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for organizations that require seamless migration between various service types. Moreover, with features such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) support and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, the router ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance.

In contrast, the Cisco 15310-MA focuses on access solutions, providing a cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. It is well-suited for smaller offices or branch locations that need reliable connectivity without the expense and complexity associated with larger systems. The device supports a range of access methods and provides essential features like firewall capabilities, VPN support, and comprehensive security measures to protect sensitive data.

Both models benefit from Cisco's commitment to security and manageability, offering features like enhanced encryption protocols and user authentication mechanisms that help safeguard networks against threats. Additionally, they can be managed through Cisco’s intuitive software tools, simplifying configuration and monitoring tasks for IT administrators.

The Cisco 15310-CL and 15310-MA are ideal solutions for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure, ensuring firms can keep pace with evolving technology demands while maintaining a focus on security and performance. Their combination of advanced features, modular capabilities, and robust support makes them valuable assets in the networking landscape.
