Chapter 1 Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH Shelf Assembly Hardware

Cable Description and Installation

Note In ONS 15310-MA SDH OSP installations, E1/E3 ports are connected to the OSP. The OSP cabinet is equipped with primary and secondary protections. In addition, isolation transformers are also provided.

RJ-45 cables: RJ-45 cables connect to the LAN, CRAFT, and UDC ports. An unshielded twisted-pair (STP) #22 or #24 AWG wire is required for the CRAFT and UDC ports. Unshielded twisted-pair is sufficient for the alarm and LAN(rear). 10/100-Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables are used to connect the CE-100T-8 and ML-100T-8 cards.

Alarm and timing (BITS) cables: The Alarm In port requires a shielded cable terminated with a DB-37 connector; Alarm Out requires a shielded cable terminated with a DB-25 connector; and the building integrated timing supply (BITS) ports require DB-9 connectors or a DB9BIT=BB9 to wire wrap adapter.

1.8.2Fiber Cable Installation

To install fiber-optic cables on the ONS 15310-MA SDH, a fiber cable with an LC connector must be connected to an SFP. SFPs are installed in the SFP port on the ONS 15310-MA SDH. Each LC connector contains the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) signal for that port. Cisco recommends that you label the transmit and receive ports and the working and protection fibers at each end of the fiber span to avoid confusion with cables that are similar in appearance.

You can route fiber cables through the optional fiber guide, installed at the bottom of the shelf assembly (Figure 1-10).

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.
