Data Sheet

Cisco ONS 15540
Extended Services Platform

The Cisco ONS 15540 Extended Services Platform (ESP) is a highly modular and scalable next- generation dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) platform that integrates data networking, storage, and information streaming over an ultra-high bandwidth-intelligent optical infrastructure that can support any packet, over any wavelength, on any platform.

Key Product Benefits

• Scalable, incremental bandwidth—The Cisco ONS 15540 offers a transparent transponder line card that supports line rate connectivity of different protocols at speeds ranging from 16 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps. Each line card consists of a motherboard that can be equipped with up to four transponder modules.
  
  
• Connectivity—Each transparent transponder module supports one TX, RX pair SC connectors for interconnecting the customer premise equipment (CPE).
  
  
• High availability - Provides 99.999% availability for demanding carrier and enterprise environments, with hardware redundancy and automatic protection switching to protect against fiber cuts and equipment failures
  
  
• Multiservice integration - Transports Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and ATM traffic at OC-3/STM1, OC-12/STM4, OC-48/STM16, and OC 192c/ STM-64 (future) speeds; supports Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet for data networking, and ESCON, FICON, and Fibre Channel for storage networking
