Chapter 3 Connecting the Cisco ONS 15530
Connecting the WB-VOA and PB-OE Modules
Using PB-OE Modules to Terminate Unused Bands
PB-OE modules can be used to equalize power and terminate unused bands, eliminating potential lasing
effects. This configuration is also known as an optical seam. Place optical seams in meshed ring
topologies where there are no nodes equivalent to the hub node in a hubbed ring topology where all the
used and unused bands terminate. Be sure to have PB-OE modules in the optical seam to equalize every
added band on the network.
Figure 3-30 shows an example of two PB-OE modules configured to equalize bands E, F, G and H and
terminate the unused bands in the west to east direction only. The east to west direction can be configured
on any node.

To install the cables in this configuration, follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect the MID_IN port of the first OADM module to the MID_OUT port of the second OADM
module.
Step 2 Connect the MID_OUT port of the first OADM module to the IN port of the first PB-OE module.
Step 3 Connect the MID_IN port of the second OADM module to the OUT port of the first PB-OE module.
Step 4 Connect the UPG_IN port of the first PB-OE module to the OUT port of the second PB-OE module.
Step 5 Connect the UPG_OUT port of the first PB-OE module to the IN port of the second PB-OE module.
