OC48 LR 1550 Card
The OC48 LR 1550 card provides one long-range, Telcordia-compliant, GR-253
SONET OC-48 port per card. The port operates at 2.49 Gbps over a single-mode fiber
span. The card supports VT and non-concatenated or concatenated payloads at STS-1,
STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-12c, or STS-48c signal levels.
OC48 LR/STM16 LH AS 1550 Card
The OC48 IR/SMT16 SH AS 1550 card provides the same capability as the OC48
LR 1550 card but can be installed in any traffic slot. The OC48 LR 1550 card is
restricted to slots 5, 6, 12, and 13.
OC48 ELR 200 GHz DWDM Cards
Eighteen distinct OC48 ITU 200GHz dense wavelength division multiplexing
(DWDM) cards provide the ONS 15454 DWDM channel plan. Each OC-48 DWDM
card provides one Telcordia-compliant, GR-253 SONET OC-48 port. The port
operates at 2.49 Gbps over a single-mode fiber span. The card supports VT and
concatenated or non-concatenated payloads at STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-12c, or
STS-48c signal levels.
Nine of the cards operate in the blue band with spacing of 200 GHz on the ITU
grid. The other nine cards operate in the red band with spacing of 200 GHz on the
ITU grid. These cards are also designed to interoperate with the Cisco ONS 15216
DWDM solution.
OC48 ELR/STM16 EH 100 GHz DWDM Cards
Thirty-seven distinct OC48 ITU 100GHz dense wavelength division multiplexing
(DWDM) cards provide the ONS 15454 DWDM channel plan. Each OC-48
DWDM card has one Telcordia-compliant, GR-253 SONET OC-48/SDH STM-16
ITU-T G.692 and ITU-T G.958 port. The port operates at 2.49 Gbps over a
single-mode fiber span. The card supports VT and concatenated or
non-concatenated payloads at STS-1, STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-12c, or STS-48c
signal levels.
Nineteen of the cards operate in the blue band with spacing of 100 GHz on the
ITU grid. The other eighteen cards operate in the red band with spacing of 100
GHz on the ITU grid.
