Chapter 1 System Overview
System Components
Note The 8-port multi-service muxponder does not use the switch fabric, an ITU trunk card, or an 10-Gbps
uplink card.
The 8-port multi-service muxponder supports the following protocols:
• Gigabit Ethernet (1.25 Gbps), copper and optical
• Fiber Channel (1.062 Gbps), optical
• FICON (1.062 Gbps), optical
• DVB-ASI (Digital Video Broadcast-Asynchronous Serial Interface) (270 Mbps), copper and optical
• SDI (Serial Digital Interface) (270 Mbps)
• ESCON (200 MHz), optical
• SONET OC-3 (155 Mbps), optical
• SDH STM-1 (155 Mbps), optical
• ITS (Integrated Trading System) (196.608 Mbps), optical
• Fast Ethernet (125 Mbps), copper and optical
• T1 (1.544 Mbps), copper
• E1 (2.048 Mbps), copper
Other features on the 8-port multi-service muxponder include:
• 2.5-Gbps ITU trunk signal that is tunable across two wavelengths
• DCC (Data Communications Channel) for in-band management
• Splitter protection
The following features are not supported on the 8-port multi-service muxponder:
• Oversubscription
• Y-cable line card protection
• FICON bridge
• OFC safety protocol
Note Although the 8-port multi-service muxponder uses a SONET-like framing structure to aggregate
multiple client data streams, it is not SONET compliant on the optical trunk output. The muxponder ITU
compliant optical trunk output must be used in an end-to-end configuration and cannot be connected to
a SONET/SDH OADM.
