The ONS 15540 Extended Services Platform with external cross connect capability (ESPx) is a highly modular, flexible, and scalable next generation Dense Wave Division Multiplexer (DWDM) platform that integrates data networking, storage area networking (SAN), time division multiplexing, (TDM) Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) technologies over an ultra high bandwidth, intelligent optical infrastructure that can support any packet, over any wavelength on any platform.

Features

• Support for 32 protected or 64 unprotected 2.5-Gb wavelengths
• Support for 16 protected or 32 unprotected 10-Gb Ethernet wavelengths
• Multiplexer motherboards (MMMB) with or without integrated optical supervisory channel (OSC)
• Flexible 4- and 8-channel OADM with or without OSC support
• High Density 32-channel AWG terminal multiplexer/demultiplexer with OSC
• Dual CPU modules using Cisco IOS Software
• 48VDC power inputs or optional 100-240VAC redundant rectifiers
• 2.5-Gb line card motherboards (LCMBs) providing splitter or nonsplitter support for up to 4 x 2.5-Gb transponders (8 LCMBs per chassis for 32-channel support)
• 10-Gb LCMBs providing splitter or nonsplitter support for up to 2 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet transponders (8 LCMBs per chassis for 16-ch support)
