New Hardware Features
OC192/STM64 4 Port ITU C-Band Card
The OC192/STM64 4 Port ITU C-Band card provides four Telcordia GR-253-CORE compliant, SONET
OC-192 ports per card. The ports operate at 9953.28 Mbps over single-mode fiber. The OC192/STM64
4 Port ITU C-Band card has four physical connector adapters with two fibers per connector adapter. The
card supports STS-1 payloads and concatenated payloads at STS-3c, STS-12c, STS-24c, STS-48c, or
STS-192c signal levels.
The OC192/STM64 4 Port ITU C-Band card features a tunable 1550-nm C-band laser on the trunk port.
The laser is tunable across 82 wavelengths on the ITU grid with 50-GHz spacing between wavelengths.
OC192/STM64 4 Port ITU C-Band Card Slots and Connectors
You can install OC192/STM64 4 Port ITU C-Band cards in Slots 1 through 4 and 11 through 14. The
card provides four bidirectional SC-type connector adapters on the faceplate (angled downward),
carrying two fiber strands (one transmit and one receive). Only one transmit and receive pair is used per
connector adapter. On a breakout cable, use port three with fiber 4 (transmit) and fiber 3 (receive).
Any Service Any Port (ASAP) Card New SFP
The ASAP card provides up to 16 Telcordia GR-253-CORE compliant, SONET OC-3, OC-12, OC-48,
or Gigabit Ethernet ports, or up to 4 Telcordia GR-253-CORE compliant, SONET OC-192 ports, in any
combination of line rates. The ASAP card, when used with the 4-Port I/O (4PIO) module, has up to 16
physical connector adapters (known as Small Form-factor Pluggables [SFPs]). The SFP ports operate at
up to 2488.320 Mbps over a single-mode fiber. The ASAP card, when used with the 1-Port I/O (1PIO)
module, has up to 4 physical connector adapters (known as 10Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggables
[XFPs]). The XFP ports operate at up to 9953.280 Mbps over a single-mode fiber. Both XFP and SFP
physical connector adapters have two fibers per connector adapter (transmit [Tx] and receive [Rx]). The
ASAP card supports STS-1 payloads and concatenated payloads at STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-12c,
STS-24c, STS-48c and STS-192c signal levels. The ASAP card is interoperable with ONS 15454
E-Series, G-Series, and ML-Series Ethernet cards.
There are three major components to the ASAP card:
• Carrier card, which can be installed in Slots 1 through 4 and 11 through 14
• 4PIO and 1PIO modules, also called Pluggable Input/Output Module (PIMs), which plug into the
ASAP carrier card
• SFPs/XFPs, called Pluggable Port Modules (PPMs) in CTC, which plug into the 4PIO or 1PIO
(PIM) module and provide the fiber interface using a female LC connector
A new SFP is available for use on the ASAP card. It is the ONS-SI-2G-S1, which operates at
OC48/STM16 rates.
