Transponders and Muxponders
The ONS 15454 SDH transponder (TXP) and muxponder (MXP) cards allow you to transport SDH, SONET, and 2R (re-shaping) and 3R (re-timing) payload data types across a DWDM network. The ONS 15454 SDH TXP and MXP cards include:
The 10-Gbps Transponder-100-GHz-Tunable (TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L) cards are multirate transponders for the ONS 15454 SDH platform. On the trunk side, the TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards provide a 10-Gbps STM-64/OC-192 interface. There are 80 tunable channels available in the 1550-nm C band or 82 tunable channels available in the 1580-nm L band on the 50-GHz ITU grid for the DWDM interface. The TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_C cards provide 3R transponder functionality for this 10-Gbps trunk interface. Therefore, the card is suited for use in long-range amplified systems. The DWDM interface is compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE standards.
The Transponder Multirate 10G (TXP_MR_10G) card processes one 10-Gbps signal (client side) into one 10-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk side). It provides one extended long-range STM-64 port per card, compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
The 10-Gbps Transponder-100-GHz-Tunable xx.xx-xx.xx (TXP_MR_10E) is a multirate transponder card for the ONS 15454 SDH platform. The card is fully backward compatible with the TXP_MR_10G card. It processes one 10-Gbp signal (client side) into one 10-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk side) that is tunable on four wavelength channels (ITU-T 100 GHz grid).
The 2.5G Multirate Transponder (TXP_MR_2.5G) card processes one 8-Mbps to 2.488-Gbps signal (client side) into one 8-Mbps to 2.5-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk side). It provides one long-reach STM-16 port per card, compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
The 2.5G Multirate Transponder-Protected (TXPP_MR_2.5G) card processes one 8-Mbps to 2.488-Gbps signal (client side) into two 8-Mbps to 2.5-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signals (trunk side). It provides two long-reach STM-16 ports per card, compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
The 2.5-Gbps Multirate Muxponder-Protected-100-GHz-Tunable 15xx.xx-15yy.yy (TXPP_MR_2.5E) card aggregates various Storage Area Network (SAN) service client inputs (ESCON, GE, FICON, and Fibre Channel) into one 2.5 Gbps DWDM signal on the trunk side. It provides two long-reach STM-16 ports per card and is compliant with ITU-T G.957 and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
The Muxponder 2.5G/10G (MXP_2.5G_10G) card multiplexes and demultiplexes four 2.5-Gbps signals (client side) into one 10-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk side). It provides one extended long-range STM-64 port per card on the trunk side (compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE) and four intermediate or short-range STM-16 ports per card on the client side. The port operates at 9.95328 Gbps over unamplified distances up to 80 km (50 miles) with different types of fiber such as C-SMF or dispersion compensated fiber limited by loss and/or dispersion.
The Muxponder 2.5G/10G (MXP_2.5G_10E) card multiplexes and demultiplexes four 2.5-Gbps signals (client side) into one 10-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk side). It provides one extended long-range STM-64 port per card on the trunk side (compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE) and four intermediate or short-range STM-16 ports per card on the client side. The port operates at 9.95328 Gbps over unamplified distances up to 80 km (50 miles) with different types of fiber such as C-SMF or dispersion compensated fiber limited by loss and/or dispersion.
The 2.5-Gbps Multirate Muxponder-100GHz-Tunable 15xx.xx-15yy.yy (MXP_MR_2.5G, MXPP_MR_2.5G, MXP_2.5G_10G, and the MXPP_2.5G_10G) cards aggregate a mix and match of client SAN service client inputs (enterprise system connectivity [ESCON], Gigabit Ethernet [GE], fiber connectivity [FICON], and Fibre Channel) into one 2.5-Gbps DWDM signal on the trunk side. It provides one long-reach STM-16 port per card and is compliant with ITU-T G.957 and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
The 10-Gbps Multirate Muxponder-100 GHz-Tunable 15xx.xx-15yy.yy C-band and L-band (MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L) cards aggregate a mix of client SAN service client inputs (GE, FICON, and Fibre Channel) into one 10.0 Gbps STM-64/OC-192 DWDM signal on the trunk side. It provides one long-reach STM-64/OC-192 port per card and is compliant with Telcordia GR-253-CORE and ITU-T G.957.
Note The muxponders are labeled 10DME-L and 10DME-C on the faceplate.
The 2.5-Gbps-10-Gbps Muxponder-100 GHz-Tunable (MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L) cards are DWDM muxponders for the ONS 15454 SDH platform that support full optical transparency on the client side. The cards multiplex four 2.5-Gbps client signals (4 x OC48/STM-16 SFP) into a single 10-Gbps DWDM optical signal on the trunk side. The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards provide wavelength transmission service for the four incoming 2.5 Gbps client interfaces. The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L muxponders pass all SONET/SDH overhead bytes transparently. The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards are not compatible with the MXP_2.5G_10G card, which does not support full optical transparency.
