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.
