Chapter2 Cards Specifications 2.1 Card Overview
MXP_2.5G_10E 15454-10ME-xx.x= The 2.5 Gbps-10 Gbps Muxponder-100 GHz-Tunable xx.xx-xx.xx
(MXP_2.5G_10E) card has nine sets of ports located on the faceplate
and can be installed in Slots 1 through 6 and 12 through 17. It is a
DWDM muxponder for the ONS 15454 platform that supports full
optical transparency on the client side. The card multiplexes four 2.5
Gbps client signals (4 x OC48/STM-16 SFP) into a single 10-Gbps
DWDM optical signal on the trunk side. The MXP_2.5G_10E card
provides wavelength transmission service for the four incoming 2.5
Gbps client interfaces. It passes all SONET overhead bytes
transparently. Each version of this card has a different part number.
TheMXP_2.5G_10E works with Optical Transparent Network (OTN)
devices defined in ITU-T G.709. The card supports Optical Data
Channel Unit 1 (ODU1) to Optical Channel Transport Unit (OTU2)
multiplexing, an industry standard method for asynchronously
mapping a SONET/SDH payload into a digitally wrapped envelope.
The MXP_2.5G_10E card is tunable over four neighboring
wavelengths in the 1550 nm, ITU 100-GHz range. It is available in
eight different versions, coveringthirty-two different wavelengths in
the 1550 nm range. It is not compatible with the MXP_2.5G_10G
card, which does not supports full optical transparency.The faceplate
designation of the card is “4x2.5G 10E MXP.”
MXP_2.5G_10E-C 15454-10ME-C= This muxponder has the same features as the MXP_2.5G_10E card,
but its trunk interface can be tuned over the entire C band.
MXP_2.5G_10E-L 15454-10ME-L= This muxponder has the same features as the MXP_2.5G_10E card,
but its trunk interface can be tuned over the entire L band.
MXP_MR_2.5G 15454-Datamux2.5GDM The MXP_MR_2.5G card has nine sets of ports located on the
faceplate. The MXP_MR_2.5G card aggregates a mix and match of
client Storage Area Network (SAN) service client inputs (GE,
FICON, Fibre Channel, and ESCON) into one 2.5 Gbps
STM-16/OC-48 DWDM signal on the trunk side. It provides one
long-reach STM-16/OC-48 port per card and is compliant with
Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
MXPP_MR_2.5G 15454-Datamux2.5GDMP The MXPP_MR_2.5G card has ten sets of ports located on the
faceplate. The 2.5-Gbps Multirate Muxponder-Protected-100
GHz-Tunable 15xx.xx-15yy.yy (MXPP_MR_2.5G) card aggregates
various client SAN service client inputs (GE, FICON, Fibre Channel,
and ESCON) into one 2.5 Gbps STM-16/OC-48 DWDMsignal on the
trunk side. It provides two long-reach STM-16/OC-48 ports per card
and is compliant with ITU-T G.957 and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
