ESCON Multiplexing Line Cards, 10-Gbps ITU Trunk Cards, and 10-GE Uplink
Cards
The ESCON multiplexing line card aggregates up to 10client data streams into a single 2.5-Gbps signal.
The card sends signal through the switch fabric to a 10-Gbps ITU trunk card or a 10-GE uplink car d. The
trunk card converts up to four aggregated signals to an ITU-compliant wavelength, or channel. The
Cisco ONS 15530 supports two types of 10-Gbps ITU trunk cards:
•Splitter—Sends the channels to two OADM modules.
•Nonsplitter—Sends the channel to only one OADM module.
The 10-Gbps ITU trunk card has an transmit (laser) power in the range of 1 to 5 dBm and a rece ive
detector sensitivity range of –22 to –8dBm.
The 10-GE uplink card converts up to four aggregated signals to a 10 Gigabi t Ethe rn et 1 310 -nm signa l
that can be transmitted to another shelf, such as the CiscoONS 15540 ESPx and the
Cisco ONS 15540 ESP. The transmit power for the 10-GE uplink card is –8.2 to 0.5 dBm an d the
receive detector range is –14.4 to 0.5 dBm.
