Description
The Cisco ONS-SC-10G-C is a high-performance 10-Gigabit DWDM transponder designed for use with the Cisco ONS 15454 Series Multiservice Transport Platforms. Engineered for demanding optical networking environments, this plug-in card supports long-haul and metro applications with advanced forward error correction (FEC) and robust signal integrity. It delivers 10 Gbps line rates over single-mode fiber using ITU-compliant DWDM wavelengths, making it ideal for dense wavelength-division multiplexing systems. The compact single-slot card design allows for efficient space utilization in high-density chassis configurations.
Key features include support for 10G Ethernet LAN/WAN PHY, OC-192/STM-64, and Fibre Channel protocols, providing flexible deployment options across various network architectures. The module integrates optical performance monitoring and loopback capabilities, enhancing manageability and simplifying troubleshooting. Designed with carrier-grade reliability, it operates within extended temperature ranges and includes redundant power supply compatibility when deployed in supported chassis. Purchasing this used unit offers a cost-effective solution for expanding or upgrading existing optical transport networks without compromising performance.
