Specification Type

Description

 

 

Carrier Card (CC)

Contains slots for four pluggable ASAP I/O cards, which can be used to

 

provide a variety of optical line interfaces. The CC provides 4 electrical

 

STS-48 or Gigabit Ethernet signals to each ASAP I/O card (for 16 total) and

 

16 redundant electrical STS-48 matrix interfaces to the backplane. For

 

SONET interfaces, the CC card provides pointer processing and overhead

 

extraction/insertion.

 

 

4PIO Pluggable I/O

The ASAP 4PIO module is a four-port multirate optical interface card. It has

card

four slots for Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optics. The four ports can

 

be provisioned on a per-port basis as OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, or

 

Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

 

 

1PIO Pluggable I/O

The ASAP 1PIO module is a single-port single-rate optical interface card. It

card

has one slot for XFP optics. The port can be provisioned for one OC-192

 

interface.

 

 

Payloads

Nonconcatenated and/or concatenated payloads at STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6C,

 

STS-9C, STS-12c, STS-24c, STS-48c, and STS-192c are supported. For

 

Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, Layer 1 Ethernet transport is also implemented.

ONS 15600 specifications

Cisco Systems ONS 15600 is a highly versatile optical networking platform designed to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data services. This multiservice edge platform supports various transmission mediums and offers a wide array of features that enable efficient data transport. Ideal for service providers and large enterprises, the ONS 15600 is engineered to provide scalable and reliable optical transport solutions.

One of the notable features of the ONS 15600 is its capability to support multiple protocols, including SONET/SDH, Ethernet, OTN, and legacy TDM services. This flexibility allows users to tailor their networks according to specific service requirements while ensuring interoperability with existing infrastructure. The platform is designed to facilitate seamless service migration, accommodating both legacy and next-generation services.

The modular architecture of the ONS 15600 enhances its scalability. It allows for easy expansion by incorporating additional line cards or interface modules without requiring significant downtime. This modularity ensures that service providers can evolve their networks over time, responding to increasing bandwidth demands and new service offerings with ease.

Incorporating advanced technologies, the ONS 15600 employs Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), significantly increasing the capacity of fiber networks by allowing multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single optical fiber. This capability helps to optimize fiber utilization and reduce operational costs. In addition, the platform supports Optical Transport Network (OTN) for improved error detection and correction, contributing to higher reliability and performance.

Another key characteristic of the ONS 15600 is its robust management capabilities. The platform can be managed through Cisco's Optical Networking Manager (ONM), providing a centralized interface for network configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. This enhances operational efficiency and minimizes downtime, allowing service providers to focus on delivering quality services to their customers.

The ONS 15600 also prioritizes security, offering various features like encryption and access control to safeguard sensitive data during transmission. With its combination of scalability, flexibility, and security, the Cisco ONS 15600 stands out as a reliable choice for organizations looking to enhance their optical networking capabilities while meeting the evolving demands of the digital landscape. Its commitment to quality and performance makes it a cornerstone of modern optical networks.
