8-port EFEC data muxponder card, 8 SFP-based client interfaces, full C-band tunable on 50-GHz ITU wavelengths, DWDM line with LC connectors
The 8-Port Enhanced Data Muxponder Card for the Cisco® ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) expands the platform's storage area network (SAN) and data interface density. The card facilitates the delivery of Gigabit Ethernet, 1-Gbps to 4-Gbps Fibre Channel, IBM Fiber Connection (FICON), and IBM ISC services for enterprises or metropolitan-area (metro) and regional service provider networks.
The Cisco ONS 15454 8-Port 10-Gbps Data Muxponder Card can transport up to 8 x 1-Gbps services, 4 x 2-Gbps services, 2 x 4-Gbps services, or a mix of these services aggregated over a G.709 OTU-2-based, 50-GHz spaced, 50-GHz stabilized, ITU-compliant wavelength with selectable Forward Error Correction (FEC), Enhanced Forward Error Correction (E-FEC). The muxponder card is a plug-in module to the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP, helping enable a high-density, cost-effective solution for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, FICON, and ISC transport over a highly resilient optical platform. The muxponder card architecture contains eight client interfaces that are mapped to a single line interface, without accessing the Cisco ONS 15454 shelf cross-connect fabric.
Each client interface supports Gigabit Ethernet, 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps Fibre Channel/FICON/ISC, or 4-Gbps Fibre Channel using a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics module with LC connectors, providing the flexibility to support several protocols, data rates, or fiber types with support for qualified SFP modules. The data muxponder card supports a mixture of SFP types and also supports in-service insertion or removal without affecting other active ports, allowing networking flexibility and reduced pre-planning activities.
The DWDM line interface provides one 10.70923-Gbps G.709 OTU-2 digital wrapper, long-reach/long-haul, ITU-compliant, 50-GHz spaced optical interface using LC connectors supporting G.709 OTU-2 digital wrapper interfaces. The DWDM output line interface is tunable across the full optical C or L band, dramatically reducing the inventory of spares. When operated within the outlined specifications, each card will transport the aggregated signals with a maximum bit error rate (BER) of 10E-15.
The muxponder card incorporates the eight client interfaces and one DWDM line interface on the same card. The muxponder cards are deployable in the 12 multiservice interface card slots of the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP, in systems with or without cross-connect cards. The addition of a cross-connect card enables the platform to support hybrid applications containing transparent 2.5-Gbps services as well as aggregation of the other services supported by the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP. The only other common card required for operation is the timing, communications, and control (TCC) card.
The data muxponder card provides many carrier-class features and capabilities necessary to deliver SAN and data services, including selectable service mix, wavelength tunability, flexible protection mechanisms, flexible timing options, and management capabilities.
