The Cisco ONS 15327 is the first metro edge optical transport platform, supercharging SONET/SDH with integrated optical networking and unprecedented multiservices on demand. The Cisco ONS 15327 combines industry leading bandwidth capacity and service diversity in a tiny footprint to enable service providers to achieve radical economics at the metro edge. Release 3.3.0 improves the economics and networking flexibility of the ONS 15327. Greater distances for SONET rings or point-to-point spans are supported through complementary long-reach versions of OC-12/STM-4 and OC-48/STM-16 interface cards. Release 3.3.0 also introduces a new OC-3/STM-1 interface card with high-density optics to ease the traffic gridlock at bandwidth-intensive access points at the fringe of the optical network.

Features

• The four-port OC-3/STM-1 occupies a single high-speed slot in the 15327 chassis and features four SONET OC-3 interfaces with each delivering 155.52Mbps of carrier-class service to bandwidth intensive access points that require a scalable, multiservice scalable solution.
• OC-12 long-reach card is available to support distances up to 80 kilometers. Each card utilizes a 1550nm laser to provide 623.08 Mb/s for both concatenated and non-concatenated services.
• OC-48 long-reach card is available to support distances up to 80 kilometers. Each card utilizes a 1550nm laser to provide 2488.32 Mb/s for both concatenated and non-concatenated services.
• Circuit packs introduced with Release 3.3.0 are rated for extended temperature operation of -40 to +65 degrees Celsius. Other ONS 15327 components and circuit packs have also been previously introduced with I-Temp
