MXP_MR_10DME_C

15454-10DME-C=

The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards

 

 

 

aggregate a mix of client SAN service client inputs (GE, FICON, and

MXP_MR_10DME_L

15454-10DME-L=

Fibre Channel) into one 10-Gbps STM-64/OC-192 DWDM signal on

 

 

 

 

 

 

the trunk side. It provides one long-reach STM-64/OC-192 port per

 

 

 

card and is compliant with Telcordia GR-253-CORE and ITU-T

 

 

 

G.957. They pass all SONET/SDH overhead bytes transparently.

 

 

 

The ITU-T G.709 compliant digital wrapper function formats the

 

 

 

DWDM wavelength so that it can be used to set up generic

 

 

 

communications channels (GCCs) for data communications, enable

 

 

 

forward error correction (FEC), or facilitate performance monitoring

 

 

 

(PM). The cards work with the OTN devices defined in ITU-T G.709.

 

 

 

The cards support ODU1 to OTU2 multiplexing, an industry standard

 

 

 

method for asynchronously mapping a SONET/SDH payload into a

 

 

 

digitally wrapped envelope. You can install MXP_MR_10DME_C

 

 

 

and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.

 

 

 

The MXP_MR_10DME_C card features a tunable 1550-nm C-band

 

 

 

laser on the trunk port. The laser is tunable across 82 wavelengths on

 

 

 

the ITU grid with 50-GHz spacing between wavelengths. The

 

 

 

MXP_MR_10DME_L features a tunable 1580-nm L-band laser on the

 

 

 

trunk port. The laser is tunable across 80 wavelengths on the ITU grid,

 

 

 

also with 50-GHz spacing. Each card features four 1310-nm lasers on

 

 

 

the client ports and contains five transmit and receive connector pairs

 

 

 

(labeled) on the card faceplate. The cards use dual LC connectors on

 

 

 

the trunk side and use SFP modules on the client side for optical cable

 

 

 

termination. The SFP pluggable modules are SR or IR and support an

 

 

 

LC fiber connector.

 

 

 

 

2.2 Card Specifications

Refer to the “Card Reference” chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Reference Manual for a detailed description of each card.

2.2.1 Common Control Cards

This section describes the common control cards (TCC2, TCC2P, AIC-I, and MS-ISC-100T).

2.2.1.1 TCC2 Card

The Advanced Timing, Communications, and Control (TCC2) card performs system initialization, provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance, diagnostics, IP address detection/resolution, SONET section overhead (SOH) data communications channel/generic communications channel (DCC/GCC) termination, optical service channel (OSC) DWDM data communications network (DCN) termination, and system fault detection for the ONS 15454. The TCC2 also ensures that the system maintains Stratum

3(Telcordia GR-253-CORE) timing requirements. It monitors the supply voltage of the system. Figure 2-1shows the faceplate and block diagram for the TCC2.

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. Its main features, including advanced DWDM capabilities, modular architecture, protocol versatility, and enhanced protection mechanisms, make it a preferred choice for organizations looking to scale their network infrastructure while ensuring high service reliability and performance. Whether for expanding bandwidth or modernizing legacy networks, the Cisco 15454 stands out as a powerful tool in the ever-evolving landscape of telecommunications.
