Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN Line Card
78-13602-01
Feature Overview
The Cisco uBR10 Spatial Reuse Protocol (SRP) OC12 single-mode fiber, long reach (SML) dynamic
packet transport (DPT) WAN line card provides shared IP over SONET capability for the
Cisco uBR10012 router platform.
The Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN line card:
•
Accommodates large scale network topology.
The WAN card is deployed in SONET OC-12 DPT rings. The DPT rings are connected to SONET
Add Drop Multiplexers (ADMS) allowing the creation of small or very large rings. Each DPT ring
supports a maximum of 64 nodes.
•
Leverages fiber optics capacity at OC-12c line rates.
The WAN card has two SC duplex ports. Each SC duplex port provides the physical connection to
an adjacent device in a DPT ring.
•
Supports single mode fiber transmissions.
•
Allows data to obtain fair-shared access to the OC-12c rings.
•
Supports Version 1 SRP Protocol
•
Implements protection mechanisms, including wrap and unwrap, in the event of fiber or node
failure.
The Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN line card requires two card slots. For that reason, the card
is normally installed in Slot 2 and Slot 4 if you are using two cards. If you are using only one card than
install the card in Slot 2, Slot 3 or Slot 4. See
Figure 1
.
Attenuation
The Cisco uBR10-SRP-OC12SML DPT WAN line card is designed to be used at any distance between
15 and 40 kilometers (km). For shorter distance operations (less than 15 km), use a 10 dBm optical
attenuator on the link (see
Figure 6 on page 7
) between the two nodes to prevent clipping and over
saturation of the optical receiver. The attenuator should be made of a non-metallic or plastic material.
The exact attenuation value is based on the real cable length or the number of couplers and splicers on
the link. For example, 5 dBm attenuator could be used in a 7 km link.
Note
The maximum distance of 40 km assumes that the 1310 nm SMF optical cable attenuation is no more
than 0.5dB per kilometer; and that there is no optical coupler or splicer in on the link (each could add
0.5dB loss).
Cisco recommends the use of a SC/PC female to SC/PC male optical attenuator.
Tip
The SC/PC (Standard Connector/Physical Contact) denotes a connector with a rectangular shape.
The surfaces are parallel with respect to the port (not angled). SC/APC (Standard Connector Angled
Physical Contact) denotes an angled surface.
