Description
The Cisco 15454-VXC-10G is a high-capacity optical cross-connect card designed for the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP). Engineered for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks, this 10-Gbps virtual cross-connect module enables efficient, flexible grooming and switching of optical traffic at the electrical layer. Its compact design supports up to 80 Gbps of non-blocking switching capacity per card, making it ideal for high-performance metro and long-haul transport applications. The card fits seamlessly into the ONS 15454 chassis, offering carrier-grade reliability and scalability.
The 15454-VXC-10G features eight 10-Gbps ports, supporting both client and line-side interfaces with SFP+ optics for modularity and ease of maintenance. It provides full support for SONET/SDH, OTN, and Ethernet protocols, allowing for versatile service delivery across multiple network layers. Built-in performance monitoring and protection switching capabilities enhance operational efficiency and network resilience. When purchasing used, buyers should confirm the card’s firmware version, optical port condition, and compatibility with existing Cisco MSTP infrastructure.
