Description
The Cisco ONS-XC-10G-C is a high-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet transponder designed for use within the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform. Engineered for dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) networks, this module supports 10G client signals and efficiently maps them to ITU-compliant DWDM wavelengths. Its compact design allows for high port density, making it ideal for scaling network capacity while conserving valuable chassis space. The card offers robust signal integrity and integrates seamlessly with Cisco’s optical infrastructure for long-haul and metro applications.
This unit supports both client and line-side interfaces, with built-in forward error correction (FEC) to enhance signal reliability over extended distances. It is hot-swappable and features advanced monitoring capabilities, including digital optical monitoring (DOM) for real-time performance metrics. The ONS-XC-10G-C is compatible with a range of 10G protocols, such as 10GBASE-LR and OC-192/STM-64, making it versatile for mixed-service environments. Ideal for buyers seeking reliable used network hardware, this transponder offers a cost-effective solution for expanding optical transport networks without compromising performance.
