TXPP_MR_2.5G

15454-MRP-L1-xx.x=

The 2.5 Gbps Multirate Transponder-Protected-100 GHz-Tunable

 

 

 

xx.xxxx. xx (TXPP_MR_2.5G) card has three sets of ports located on

 

 

 

the faceplate and can be installed in Slots 1 to 6 and Slots 12 to 17. It

 

 

 

processes one 8 Mbps to 2.488 Gbps signal (client side) into two 8

 

 

 

Mbps to 2.5 Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signals (trunk side). It provides

 

 

 

two long-reach STM-16/OC-48 ports per card, compliant with ITU-T

 

 

 

G.707, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE. Each version of

 

 

 

this card has a different part number.

 

 

 

The TXPP_MR_2.5G card is tunable over four wavelengths in the

 

 

 

1550 nm ITU 100-GHz range. The card is available in eight versions,

 

 

 

covering thirty-two different wavelengths in the 1550 nm range. The

 

 

 

TXPP_MR_2.5G card support 2R and 3R modes of operation where

 

 

 

the client signal is mapped into a ITU-T G.709 frame.

 

 

 

MXP_2.5G_10G

15454-10M-L1-xx.x=

The 2.5 Gbps-10 Gbps Muxponder-100 GHz-Tunable xx.xx-xx.xx

 

 

 

(MXP_2.5G_10G) card has 9 sets of ports located on the faceplate and

 

 

 

can be installed in Slots 1 to 6 and Slots 12 to 17. It

 

 

 

multiplexes/demultiplexes four 2.5-Gbps signals (client side) into one

 

 

 

10-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk side). It provides one

 

 

 

extended long-range STM-64/OC-192 port per card on the trunk side

 

 

 

(compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, ITU-T G.957, and

 

 

 

Telcordia GR-253-CORE) and four intermediate- or short-range

 

 

 

OC-48/STM-16 ports per card on the client side. The port operates at

 

 

 

9.95328 Gbps over unamplified distances up to 80 km (50 miles) with

 

 

 

different types of fiber such as C-SMF or dispersion compensated

 

 

 

fiber limited by loss and/or dispersion. The port can also operate at

 

 

 

10.70923 Gbps in ITU-T G.709 Digital Wrapper/FEC mode. Each

 

 

 

version of this card has a different part number.

 

 

 

Client ports on the MXP_2.5G_10G card are also interoperable with

 

 

 

OC-1 (STS-1) fiber-optic signals defined in Telcordia GR-253-CORE.

 

 

 

An OC-1 signal is the equivalent of one DS-3 channel transmitted

 

 

 

across optical fiber. OC-1 is primarily used for trunk interfaces to

 

 

 

phone switches in the United States.

 

 

 

The MXP_2.5G_10G card is tunable over two neighboring

 

 

 

wavelengths in the 1550 nm, ITU 100-GHz range. It is available in

 

 

 

sixteen different versions, covering thirty-two different wavelengths

 

 

 

in the 1550 nm range.

15454 specifications

Cisco Systems' 15454 is a leading optical networking platform designed to address a range of connectivity needs for service providers, enterprises, and data centers. As part of the Cisco ONS (Optical Networking System) portfolio, the 15454 provides advanced capabilities that cater to the evolving demands of high-performance network requirements.

At its core, the Cisco 15454 is built for scalability and versatility. It supports a variety of transmission methods, including SONET (Synchronous Optical Networking), SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy), and WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing). This flexibility makes the platform ideal for deploying both legacy services and next-generation applications.

One of the standout features of the 15454 is its ability to support high-capacity wavelengths, allowing for greater bandwidth utilization across fiber networks. With advanced Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, the platform ensures efficient use of the available fiber and extends the distance over which data can be transmitted. This results in reduced operational costs while maximizing throughput.

The Cisco 15454 also comes equipped with an array of interfaces supported by its modular design. The platform can accommodate Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and IP services, which means it can seamlessly handle a wide range of protocols. The modular architecture allows network operators to tailor the system to their specific requirements, offering a variety of line cards and interfaces to choose from.

Another critical characteristic of the 15454 is its built-in protection mechanisms. The system offers diverse and automatic protection schemes such as optical Layer 1 protection, ensuring high availability and network resilience. This capability is essential for mission-critical applications where uptime is paramount.

Moreover, the platform is complemented by Cisco's sophisticated management solutions, which streamline the operational management of the network. With tools that provide in-depth monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities, network administrators can maintain optimal performance and quickly respond to any issues that may arise.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 15454 is a robust and adaptable optical networking solution.
