10-Gbps E-FEC multirate transponder card, 1x XFP-based client interface, full C-band tunable on 50-GHz ITU wavelengths (Odd and Even), DWDM line with LC connectors The Cisco® ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) supports a 10-Gbps Full-Band Tunable Multirate Enhanced Transponder Card which simplifies the integration and transport of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel, and OC-192/STM-64 interfaces and services into enterprises or service provider optical networks.

The 10-Gbps Full-Band Multirate Transponder Card can transport 10 Gigabit Ethernet WAN physical layer (PHY) and LAN PHY, 10-Gbps Fibre Channel (10G FICON), SONET OC-192, and SDH STM-64 services over a 50-GHz spaced, 50-GHz stabilized, ITU-compliant wavelength. The transponder card is a plug-in module to the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP, enabling a cost-effective architecture for delivering high-rate 10-Gbps services as well as low-rate services down to 1.5 Mbps. The 10-Gbps Full-Band Tunable Transponder Card architecture contains a single client interface that is mapped to a single line interface, without accessing the Cisco ONS 15454 shelf cross-connect fabric.
The client interface supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN PHY, 10 Gigabit Ethernet WAN PHY, 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel, SONET OC-192, and SDH STM-64 signals. The interface is based on 10 Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable (XFP) Multisource Agreement (MSA). Different XFP interfaces are available:

-A 10GE Base-SW / Base-SR, 850-nanometer (nm) Multi Mode (MM) optical interface using LC connectors supporting fiber distance of up to 300 meters (m) (with or without the Y-protection option)
-A short-reach/intra-office, 1310-nm Single Mode (SM) optical interface using LC connectors supporting fiber distances of up to 2 kilometers (km) (with or without the Y-protection option)
-An intermediate-reach/short-haul, 1550-nm SM optical interface using LC connectors supporting fiber distances of up to 20 km (with or without the Y-protection option).
-A long-reach/long-haul, 1550-nm SM optical interface using LC connectors supporting fiber distances of up to 80 km (with or without the Y-protection option).

The line interface provides one 10-Gbps, long-reach, ITU-compliant, 50-GHz-spaced optical interface using LC connectors supporting OTU-2 G.709 digital wrapper, OC-192, STM-64, 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel, 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN PHY, or 10 Gigabit Ethernet WAN PHY interfaces. Two different units are available: one with output line interface tunable across 82 adjacent 50-GHz wavelengths, enabling support for C-Band DWDM networks via single card type, and a second with output line interface tunable across 80 adjacent 50-GHz wavelengths, enabling support for L-Band DWDM networks via single card type. When operated within the outlined specifications, each card will transport the 10-Gbps signal with a maximum bite error rate (BER) of 10E-15.
The 10-Gbps Full-Band Tunable Transponder Card incorporates both a client and DWDM line interface on the same card. The 10-Gbps full-band tunable transponder cards are deployable in the 12 multiservice interface card slots of the Cisco ONS 15454 platform, in systems with or without cross-connect cards. The addition of a cross-connect card enables the platform to support hybrid applications, containing transparent 10-Gbps services as well as aggregation of other services supported by the Cisco ONS 15454 platform. The only required common card is the appropriate timing, communications, and control card (TCC).
The 10-Gbps Full-Band Tunable Transponder Card provides many carrier-class features and advanced capabilities necessary to deliver 10-Gbps services, including the protocol transparency, wavelength tunability, flexible protection mechanisms, flow-through timing, management, and performance monitoring capabilities outlined below.
