Installing the Cisco ONS 15216-MD-40-ODD and 15216-MD-40-EVEN Mux/Demux Patch Panels
78-19053-01
birefringent crystal technology platform. The ultra-low dispersion of the patch
panel coupled with the wide bandwidth reduces the concerns of dispersion
accumulation and bandwidth narrowing, making the patch panel ideal for
Multi-OADM Metro ring or mesh-based architectures.
Some of the operating features of the patch panel include:
•
Low dispersion
•
Low insertion loss
•
High channel isolation
•
Wide clear bandwidth
•
Full C-band coverage
•
Multiplex and demultiplex 40-channels
•
Athermal design
Functional Description
The functional unit of the ONS 15216 odd and even patch panel is the passive
A-Thermal AWG (arrayed waveguide grating) optical module. The AWG optical
module comprises of the mux and demux module as shown in
.
