Cisco 15454-M-CFP-LC= Transport Networking Transmission Equipment Networking

The Cisco® ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) supports a 2-port C Form-Factor Pluggable (CFP) line card, which simplifies the integration and transport of 100-Gigabit interfaces and services into enterprises or service provider optical networks.

Challenge and Solution
The bandwidth carried on core and metropolitan DWDM networks is growing exponentially, while operators’ revenues are not keeping pace. The Cisco ONS 15454 100-Gbps solution can dramatically lower the cost to carry bandwidth, helping to maintain and improve customers’ profitability. Internet growth is still exponential, mainly due to demand for next-generation services such as quadruple play (data, voice, video, and mobility), video distribution, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), and other high-bandwidth services.

Due to advanced modulation techniques, the ability to transmit 100-Gbps wavelengths on existing or new DWDM systems maximizes return on investment by increasing the overall capacity per fiber pair without impacting the unregenerated transmission distance supported by the system. Scaling from 10 Gbps to 40 Gbps and now 100 Gbps multiplies by a factor of 10 the bandwidth that can be transported over existing fiber networks.

The new coherent polarization-multiplexing differential quadrature phase shift keying (CP-DQPSK) modulation scheme supports 9.6 Tbps capacity transmission over Ultra-Long-Haul (ULH) networks of up to 3,000 km of unregenerated optical spans.

The Cisco ONS 15454 2-Port CFP Line Card is designed to provide 100-Gbps services over 100-Gbps DWDM wavelengths generated by the Cisco ONS 15454 100 Gbps Coherent DWDM Trunk Card.
