Table 1-22 describes the10-Gbps ITU tunable trunk card LED status.
10-Gbps Uplink Cards
The 10-Gbps uplink card, shown in Figure 1-32, sends and receives a 10-GE 1310-nm signal to and from
a 10-GE uplink card on another Cisco ONS 15530, or to and from a 10-GE transponder module on a
Cisco ONS 15540 ESP or Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx. This card accepts up to four (3.125-Gbps line rate)
electrical signals from 10-port ESCON aggregation cards and 8-port FC/GE aggregation cards, and
combines them into one 10-GE signal.
The 10-Gbps uplink card has four separate redundant interfaces to the backplane. Each interface
connects to the switch fabric on the active and standby CPU switch modules.
The 10-Gbps uplink card has only one version: nonsplitter. The nonsplitter version has only one pair of
optical connectors on the front panel and can be used for unprotected or line card protected applications.
For splitter protected configurations, the splitter line card motherboards on the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP
and the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx provide the facility protection.
The Cisco ONS 15530 supports up to four 10-Gbps uplink cards for a total of four signals.
