Product Features Page
Cisco ONS 15216 and
15501 Optical
Transmission Families
Cisco ONS 15216 Metro DWDM Series
• Supports 32 ITU-grid wavelengths at 100 GHz spacing and provides unprecedented
transport flexibility with optical filtering
• Combines wavelengths launched by the Cisco ONS 15454, and ONS 15530-creates a more
desirable cost per-wavelength
• Optical Add/Drop Multiplexing (OADM)
• Optical Performance Monitoring and Amplification
• Compact, modular design
Cisco ONS 15501 Optical Amplifier
• Constant flat gain of 17 dB over the 1530nm to 1563nm band simplifies network design.
• Metro optimized auto gain control and variable gain
• Low noise figure of <6.0 dB allows the use multiple amplifiers in cascade
• Input power range of -29 to 0 dBm

wavelengths
• SONET/SDH wavelength and aggregated services—OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4,
OC-48/STM-16, OC-192/STM-64
• Data services—private-line, switched and wavelength-based, including 10/100BASE-T,
Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN physical layer, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet WAN
physical layer
• Storage services—1-Gbps and 2-Gbps Fibre Channel, 10-Gbps Fibre Channel, IBM Fiber
Connection (FICON), and Enterprise Systems Connection (ESCON), ETR/CLO, ISC-1
• Video services—D1 and high-definition television (HDTV)
• Combines multiplexing, optical networking, and switching functionality in one easy-to-use
platform that supports all metro topologies
