The Optical Bypass Module

The external optical bypass module is an optional component that provides additional protection by enabling automatic preservation of the network 10GBE link. For more information regarding the external bypass module, refer to The Cisco SCE8000 Optical Bypass, page 2-8.

There are two installation options for the optical bypass module:

Chassis mount—The optical bypass module may be installed in the panel in slot #4 of the Cisco SCE8000 chassis. This panel hosts up to two optical bypass modules.

External mounting panel: —The optical bypass module may be installed in a panel that is mounted in a 19" rack. This panel can host up to four optical bypass modules.

Note Make sure to use the correct type of optical bypass module (single-mode or multi-mode) according to the transceivers and cabling that are used for the subscriber and network links.

Note Since the optic bypass module will directly connect the subscriber and network side optic paths when bypassing the SCE8000, the subscriber and network optic links must be of the same type (single-mode or multi-mode) and wavelength.

Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Avoid exposure to radiation and do not stare into open aperture.

SCE8000 specifications

Cisco Systems SCE8000 is an advanced service control edge solution designed to enhance the management and performance of service provider networks. Targeted at carriers and large enterprises, the SCE8000 is characterized by its capacity to efficiently handle traffic management, quality of service (QoS), and policy enforcement across various services including voice, video, and data.

One of the main features of the SCE8000 is its scalability. The platform supports a high-density architecture, allowing service providers to seamlessly expand their networks to accommodate growing traffic demands. This scalability is complemented by an impressive throughput, which enables the handling of millions of concurrent sessions, making it ideal for environments with significant user activity.

The SCE8000 employs advanced traffic management capabilities, leveraging deep packet inspection (DPI) technology. This allows for granular visibility into network traffic, enabling service providers to make informed decisions about resource allocation and policy application. Additionally, the device supports multiple protocol analysis, ensuring compatibility across various network services and enhancing overall efficiency.

Quality of Service (QoS) is another critical characteristic of the SCE8000. The platform provides sophisticated mechanisms to prioritize traffic, thereby ensuring that delay-sensitive applications such as VoIP and video streaming receive the necessary bandwidth. This capability is enhanced by Cisco's intelligent traffic shaping and congestion management features, which work together to optimize the user experience even in congested network conditions.

The SCE8000 also integrates robust security features, including session initiation protocol (SIP) security, to protect against malicious attacks and maintain service integrity. This is particularly important in today's cyber landscape where service providers must safeguard their infrastructure from various threats.

Automation and programmability are essential characteristics of the SCE8000, enabling operators to implement policies quickly and efficiently. This feature allows for dynamic scaling and rapid deployment of new services, significantly reducing the time to market for new offerings.

In conclusion, Cisco Systems SCE8000 stands out as a powerful platform for managing service provider networks. With its high scalability, advanced traffic management, quality of service assurance, robust security features, and automation capabilities, the SCE8000 enables service providers to deliver a superior customer experience while optimizing their operational efficiency. This makes it an invaluable asset for any organization looking to enhance its network performance and service delivery.
