7.2 Electrical Card Protection and the Backplane
Protection schemes for electrical cards depend on the EIA type used on the ONS 15454 backplane. The
difference is due to the varying connector size. For example, because BNC connectors are larger, fewer
DS3-12 cards can be supported when using a BNC connector. Table 7-2 shows the number of connectors
per side for each EIA type according to low-density and high-density interfaces.
In the tables, high-density (HD) cards include the DS3/EC1-48 and DS1/E1-56 cards. Low-density (LD
cards) include the following:
DS1-14, DS1N-14
DS3-12/DS3-12E, DS3N-12/DS3N-12E
DS3XM-6
DS3XM-12
EC1-12
Note For EIA installation, refer to the “Install the Shelf and Backplane Cable” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454
Procedure Guide.
Caution When a protection switch moves traffic from the working/active electrical card to the protect/standby electrical card,
ports on the new active/standby card cannot be taken out of service as long as traffic is switched. Lost traffic can
result when a port is taken out of service even if the standby electrical card no longer carries traffic.
Table 7-3 shows the electrical card protection for each EIA type according to shelf side and slots.
