Cisco 15454 MSTP-Optical Amplifier-C-band-24dB Gain
Part Number: 15454-OPT-EDFA-24=
Product Overview
The Cisco® ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) offers enhanced optical amplifiers for extending the reach of a metro, regional, or long-haul network. The optical amplifier cards are part of the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP intelligent dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) architecture engineered to reduce DWDM complexity and speed the deployment of next-generation networking solutions.
The Cisco ONS 15454 Enhanced C-Band 96 Channel Amplifier card (Figure 1) is a plug-in module that takes advantage of the proven Cisco ONS 15454 carrier-class features. It delivers the reach and optical performances to support a single DWDM channel all the way to 96 channels today, to meet the requirements of service provider and enterprise networks.
Features and Benefits
The Cisco True Variable Gain Booster Amplifiers, with maximum 17- and 24-dB gain are high-power enhanced amplifiers suited for the needs of a next generation of optical networks. The coherent detection technology and a new modulation format like the PM-DQPSK modulation scheme employed in 40- and 100-Gbps transponder units of the recent high-capacity optical networks eliminate the need for dispersion compensation. The noise figure of these erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) is thus optimized by having a single amplification stage with no need for a lossy midstage access to provision dispersion-compensating units. Looking forward, the channel capacity is expected to grow beyond the current 80 channels to a 96-channel total. These amplifiers can also support the amplification of up to 96 channels in the C-band of the spectrum – 50-GHz-spaced ITU grid (wavelength range from 1528.77 to 1566.72 nm).
