Cards Specifications
This chapter contains specific information about cards for dense wavelength division multiplexing
(DWDM) applications in the Cisco ONS 15454.
Note The terms"Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not
recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
• 2.1 Card Overview, page 2-1
• 2.2 Card Specifications, page 2-12
2.1 Card Overview
Redundant TCC2 and TCC2P cards are required to operate the Cisco ONS 15454. If you are using an
ETSI (SDH) shelf assembly,the MIC-A/P and MIC-C/T/P front mount electrical connections (FMECs)
are also required. The optional AIC-I card provides external alarms and controls (environmentalalarms).
Each DWDM card is marked with a symbol that corresponds to a slot (or slots) on the ONS 15454 shelf
assembly. These cards can only be installed into slots displaying the same symbols.
ONS 15454 DWDM cards are grouped into the following categories:
• Optical service channel OSC) cards provide bidirectional channels that connect all the ONS 15454
DWDM nodes and transport general-purpose information without affecting the client traffic.
ONS 15454 OSC cards include the Optical Service Channel Module (OSCM) and the Optical
Service Channel and Combiner/Separator Module (OSC-CSM).
• Optical erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) cards are used in amplified DWDM nodes, including
hub nodes, amplified OADM nodes, and line amplified nodes. Optical amplifier cards include the
Optical Preamplifier (OPT-PRE) and Optical Booster (OPT-BST).
• Dispersion compensation units (DCUs) are installed in the ONS 15454 dispersion compensation
shelf when optical preamplifier cards are installed in the DWDM node. Each DCU module can
compensate a maximum of 65 km of single-mode fiber (SMF-28) span. DCUs can be cascaded to
extend the compensation to 130 km.

2.1 Card Overview
Chapter 2 Cards Specifications
• Multiplexer and demultiplexercards multiplex and demultiplex DWDM optical channels. The cards
consist of three main modules: an optical plug-in, a microprocessor, and a DC/DC converter.
ONS 15454 multiplexer and demultiplexer cards include the 32-Channel Multiplexer (32MUX-O),
the 32-Channel Demultiplexer (32DMX-O), the single-slot 32-Channel Demultiplexer (32DMX),
and the 4-Channel Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (4MD-xx.x).
• Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM) cards are mainly divided into three groups: band OADM
cards, channel OADM cards, and wavelength selective switch (WSS) cards. Band OADM cards add
and drop one or four bands of adjacent channels; they include the 4-Band OADM (AD-4B-xx.x) and
the 1-Band OADM (AD-1B-xx.x). Channel OADM cards add and drop one, two, or four adjacent
channels; they include the 4-Channel OADM (AD-4C-xx.x), the 2-Channel OADM (AD-2C-xx.x)
and the 1-Channel OADM (AD-1C-xx.x). The 32-Channel Wavelength Selective Switch (32WSS)
card is used with the 32DMX to implement reconfigurable OADM (ROADM) functionality. These
cards consist of three main modules: an optical plug-in, a microprocessor, and a DC/DC converter.
Table 2-1 to Table 2-4 show the band IDs and the add/drop channel IDs for the 4MD-xx.x,
AD-2C-xx.x, AD-4C-xx.x, and AD-4B-xx.x cards.

• Transponder (TXP) and muxponder (MXP) cards convert the “gray” optical client interface signals
into trunk signals that operate in the “colored” DWDM wavelength range. Transponding or
muxponding is the process of converting the signals between the client and trunk wavelengths.
A muxponder generally handles several client signals. It aggregates, or multiplexes, lower- rate
client signals together and sends them out over a higher-rate trunk port. Likewise, a muxponder
demultiplexes optical signals coming in on a trunk and sends the signals out to individual client
ports. A transponder converts a single client signal to a single trunk signal and converts a single
incoming trunk signal to a single client signal.
All of the TXP and MXP cards perform optical-to-electrical-to-optical (OEO) conversion. As a
result, they are not optically transparent cards. OEO conversion is necessary because the cards must
operate on the signals passing through the cards.
However, the termination mode for all TXPs and MXPs can be configured as transparent
(termination is performed at the electrical level). In a transparent termination, neither the Line nor
the Section overhead is terminated. The cards can also be configured so that Line overhead, Section
overhead, or both Line and Section overhead can be terminated.
Note When configured in the transparent termination mode, the MXP_2.5G_10G card does terminate some
bytes by design.
Table 2-5 describes the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM cards. Client-facing gray optical signals generally
operate at shorter wavelengths, whereas DWDM colored optical signals are in the longer wavelength
range (for example, 1490 nm = violet; 1510 nm = blue; 1530 nm = green; 1550 nm = yellow; 1570 nm
= orange; 1590 nm = red; 1610 nm = brown). Some of the newer client-facing SFPs, however, operate
in the colored region.

2.1 Card Overview
Table 2-5 Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Cards
Card Part Number Description
Optical Service Channel Cards
OSCM 15454-OSCM= The OSCM card has one set of optical ports and one Ethernet port
located on the faceplate. The card operates in Slots 8 and 10.
An OSC is a bidirectional channel connecting all the nodes in a ring.
The channel transports OSC overhead that is used to manage
ONS 15454 DWDM networks. The OSC uses the 1510 nm
wavelength and does not affect client traffic. The primary purpose of
this channel is to carry clock synchronization and orderwire channel
communications for the DWDM network. It also provides transparent
links between each node in the network. The OSC is an OC-3
formatted signal.
The OSCM is used in amplified nodes that include the OPT-BST
booster amplifier. The OPT-BST includes the required OSC
wavelengthcombiner and separator component. The OSCM cannot be
used in nodes where you use OC-N cards, electrical cards, or
cross-connect cards. The OSCM uses Slots 8 and 10 when the
ONS 15454 is configured in a DWDM network.
OSC-CSM 15454-OSC-CSM= The OSC-CSM card has three sets of optical ports and one Ethernet
port located on the faceplate. The card operates in Slots 1 to 6 and 12
to 17.
The OSC-CSM is identical to the OSCM, butalso contains a combiner
and separator module in addition to the OSC module.
The OSC-CSM is used in unamplified nodes. This means that the
booster amplifier with the OSC wavelength combiner and separator is
not required for OSC-CSM operation. The OSC-CSM can be installed
in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17 when the ONS 15454 is configured in a
DWDM network.
Optical Amplifiers
OPT-PRE 15454-OPT-PRE= The OPT-PRE card is designed to support 64 channels at 50 GHz
channel spacing. The OPT-PREis a C-band DWDM,two-stage EDFA
with mid-amplifierloss (MAL) for allocation to a DCU. Tocontrolthe
gain tilt, the OPT-PRE is equipped with a built-in variable optical
attenuator (VOA). The VOA can also be used to pad the DCU to a
reference value. You can install the OPT-PRE in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to
17 when the ONS 15454 is configured in a DWDM network.
OPT-BST 15454-OPT-BST= The OPT-BSTcardis designed to support up to 64 channels at 50 GHz
channel spacing. The OPT-BST is a C-band DWDM EDFA with OSC
add-and-drop capability. When an ONS 15454 DWDM has an
OPT-BST installed, it is only necessary to have the OSCM to process
the OSC. The card has a maximum output power of 17 dBm. To
control the gain tilt, the OPT-BST is equipped with a built-in VOA.
You can install the OPT-BST in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17 when the
ONS 15454 is configured in a DWDM network.

2.2.1 Common Control Cards
2.2.1.2 TCC2P Card
Chapter 2 Cards Specifications
The TCC2 performs all system-timing functions for each ONS 15454. The TCC2 monitors the recovered
clocks from each traffic card and two building integrated timing supply (BITS) ports for frequency
accuracy. The TCC2 selects a recovered clock, a BITS, or an internal Stratum 3 reference as the
system-timing reference. You can provision any of the clock inputs as primary or secondary timing
sources. A slow-reference trackingloop allows the TCC2 to synchronize with the recoveredclock, which
provides holdover if the reference is lost.
The TCC2 monitors both supply voltage inputs on the shelf. An alarm is generated if one of the supply
voltage inputs has a voltage out of the specified range.
Install TCC2 cards in Slots 7 and 11 for redundancy. If the active TCC2 fails, traffic switches to the
protect TCC2.
The TCC2 card has two built-in interface ports for accessing the system: an RJ-45 10BaseT LAN
interface and an EIA/TIA-232 ASCII interface for local craft access. It also has a 10BaseT LAN port for
user interfaces via the backplane.
The Advanced Timing, Communications, and Control Plus (TCC2P) card is an enhanced version of the
TCC2 card. The primary enhancements are Ethernet security features and 64K composite clock BITS
timing.
The TCC2P card performs system initialization, provisioning, alarm reporting, maintenance,
diagnostics, IP address detection/resolution, SONET SOH DCC/GCC termination, and system fault
detection for the ONS 15454. The TCC2P also ensures that the system maintains Stratum 3 (Telcordia
GR-253-CORE) timing requirements. It monitors the supply voltage of the system.

2.2.1 Common Control Cards
The node database, IP address, and system software are stored in TCC2P card nonvolatile memory,
which allows quick recovery in the event of a power or card failure.
The TCC2P card performs all system-timing functions for each ONS 15454. The TCC2P card monitors
the recovered clocks from each trafficcard and two BITS ports for frequency accuracy. The TCC2P card
selects a recovered clock, a BITS, or an internal Stratum 3 reference as the system-timing reference. You
can provision any of the clock inputs as primary or secondary timing sources. A slow-reference tracking
loop allows the TCC2P card to synchronize with the recovered clock, which provides holdover if the
reference is lost.
The TCC2P card supports 64/8K composite clock and 6.312 MHz timing output. The TCC2P card
monitors both supply voltage inputs on the shelf. An alarm is generated if one of the supply voltage
inputs has a voltage out of the specified range.
Install TCC2P cards in Slots 7 and 11 for redundancy. If the active TCC2P card fails, traffic switches to
the protect TCC2P card. All TCC2P card protection switches conform to protection switching standards
when the bit error rate (BER) counts are not in excess of1*10exp-3andcompletion time is less than
50 ms.
The TCC2P card has two built-in Ethernet interface ports for accessing the system: one built-in RJ-45
port on the front faceplate for on-site craft access and a second port on the backplane. The rear Ethernet
interface is for permanent LAN access and all remote access via TCP/IP as well as for Operations
Support System (OSS) access. The front and rear Ethernet interfaces can be provisioned with different
IP addresses using CTC.
Two EIA/TIA-232 serial ports, one on the faceplate and a second on the backplane, allow for craft
interface in TL1 mode.
