TXP_MR_10E

 

15454-10E-L1-xx.x=

The 10 Gbps Transponder-100 GHz-Tunable xx.xx-xx.xx

 

 

 

(TXP_MR_10E) card has two sets of ports located on the faceplate

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

transponder for the ONS 15454 platform. It processes one 10-Gbps

 

 

 

signal (client side) into one 10-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk

 

 

 

side) that is tunable on four wavelength channels (ITU-T 100-GHz

 

 

 

grid). Each version of this card has a different part number.

 

 

 

You can provision this card in a linear configuration, bidirectional line

 

 

 

switched ring (BLSR), a path protection, or a hub. The card can be

 

 

 

used in the middle of BLSR or 1+1 spans when the card is configured

 

 

 

for transparent termination mode.

 

 

 

The TXP_MR_10E port features a 1550-nm laser for the trunk port

 

 

 

and an ONS-XC-10G-S1 XFP module for the client port and contains

 

 

 

two transmit and receive connector pairs (labeled) on the card

 

 

 

faceplate.

 

 

 

The TXP_MR_10E card is tunable over four wavelengths in the

 

 

 

1550 nm ITU 100 GHz range. They are available in eight versions,

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

TXP_MR_10E-C

15454-10E-L1-C=

This transponder has the same features as the TXP_MR_10E card, but

 

 

 

its trunk interface can be tuned over the entire C band.

 

 

 

TXP_MR_10E-L

15454-10E-L1-L=

This transponder has the same features as the TXP_MR_10E card, but

 

 

 

its trunk interface can be tuned over the entire L band.

 

 

 

 

TXP_MR_2.5G

 

15454-MR-L1-xx.x=

The 2.5 Gbps Multirate Transponder-100 GHz-Tunable xx.xx-xx.xx

 

 

 

(TXP_MR_2.5G) card has two 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 one 8 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps,

 

 

 

100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk side). It provides one long-reach

 

 

 

STM-16/OC-48 port per card, compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T

 

 

 

G.709, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE. Each version of

 

 

 

this card has a different part number.

 

 

 

The TXP_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

 

 

 

TXP_MR_2.5G card supports 2R (reshape and regenerate) and 3R

 

 

 

(retime, reshape and regenerate) modes of operation where the client

 

 

 

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

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.
