Description
The Cisco 15454-ML100T-12 is a 12-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet module designed for the ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform, offering reliable Layer 2 transport over a carrier-grade optical network. Each port supports auto-negotiation and full-duplex operation, allowing flexible deployment in metro Ethernet and enterprise backhaul applications. The module is hot-swappable and integrates seamlessly into the existing chassis, making it a cost-effective choice for expanding Ethernet services without downtime. With its compact design and robust build, it is well-suited for high-density environments requiring scalable bandwidth delivery.
Technically, the 15454-ML100T-12 supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, Spanning Tree Protocol, and quality of service (QoS) features for traffic prioritization. It operates within the standard temperature range and is managed through the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) software, simplifying provisioning and monitoring. The module includes 12 RJ-45 copper interfaces, each capable of delivering up to 100 Mbps, making it ideal for last-mile Ethernet access. When purchasing used, buyers benefit from Cisco’s proven hardware reliability and the opportunity to extend network capabilities at a reduced cost.
