Transponders and Muxponders
The ONS 15454 SDH transponder (TXP) and muxponder (MXP) cards allow you to transport SDH, SONET, 2R (reshaping and retransmitting), and 3R (retiming, reshaping, and retransmitting) payload data types across a DWDM network. The ONS 15454 SDH TXP and MXP cards include:
 •
The ADM-10G card operates on ONS 15454 SDH MSTP (SDH) and DWDM networks to transport optical signals and Gigabit Ethernet signals over DWDM wavelengths. In an MSTP network based upon Gigabit Ethernet and STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, or STM-64 SDH, the ADM-10G card transports low bit-rate SDH traffic over DWDM by mapping Gigabit Ethernet and SDH circuits onto the same wavelength with multiple protection options.
 •
The GE_XP, 10GE_XP, GE_XPE, and 10GE_XPE cards are Gigabit Ethernet (GE) Xponders for the ONS 15454 and ONS 15454 SDH platforms. The cards aggregate Ethernet packets received on the client ports for transport on 100 GHz grid, C-band, trunk ports with ITU-T G.709 framing, and can use either forward error correction (FEC) or enhanced FEC (E-FEC). The cards are designed for bulk GE point-to-point transport over 10GE WAN PHY wavelengths or video-on-demand (VOD) or broadcast video across protected 10GE WAN PHY wavelengths.
 •
The 10-Gbps Transponder–100-GHz–Tunable (TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L) cards are multirate transponders for the ONS 15454 SDH platform. On the trunk side, the TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_L cards provide a 10-Gbps STM-64/OC-192 interface. There are 80 tunable channels available in the 1550-nm C-band or 82 tunable channels available in the 1580-nm L-band on the 50-GHz ITU grid for the DWDM interface. The TXP_MR_10E_C and TXP_MR_10E_C cards provide 3R transponder functionality for this 10-Gbps trunk interface. Therefore, the card is suited for use in long-range amplified systems. The DWDM interface is compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE standards.

 •
The 2.5G Multirate Transponder-Protected (TXPP_MR_2.5G) card processes one 8-Mbps to 2.488-Gbps signal (client side) into two 8-Mbps to 2.5-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signals (trunk side). It provides two long-reach STM-16 ports per card, compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
 •
The 2.5-Gbps Multirate Muxponder-Protected–100-GHz–Tunable 15xx.xx-15yy.yy (TXPP_MR_2.5E) card aggregates various Storage Area Network (SAN) service client inputs (ESCON, GE, FICON, and Fibre Channel) into one 2.5 Gbps DWDM signal on the trunk side. It provides two long-reach STM-16 ports per card and is compliant with ITU-T G.957 and Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
 •
The Muxponder 2.5G/10G (MXP_2.5G_10G) card multiplexes and demultiplexes four 2.5-Gbps signals (client side) into one 10-Gbps, 100-GHz DWDM signal (trunk side). It provides one extended long-range STM-64 port per card on the trunk side (compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, ITU-T G.957, and Telcordia GR-253-CORE) and four intermediate or short-range STM-16 ports per card on the client side. The port operates at 9.95328 Gbps over unamplified distances up to 80 km (50 miles) with different types of fiber such as C-SMF or dispersion compensated fiber limited by loss and/or dispersion.

The 2.5-Gbps–10-Gbps Muxponder–100 GHz–Tunable (MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L) cards are DWDM muxponders for the ONS 15454 SDH platform that support full optical transparency on the client side. The cards multiplex four 2.5-Gbps client signals (4 x OC48/STM-16 SFP) into a single 10-Gbps DWDM optical signal on the trunk side. The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards provide wavelength transmission service for the four incoming 2.5 Gbps client interfaces. The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L muxponders pass all SONET/SDH overhead bytes transparently. The MXP_2.5G_10E_C and MXP_2.5G_10E_L cards are not compatible with the MXP_2.5G_10G card, which does not support full optical transparency.
