Installing the
Cisco ONS 15216-MD-40-ODD and
15216-MD-40-EVEN Mux/Demux
Patch Panels
Introduction
This document explains how to install and operate the Cisco ONS 15216 100 GHz
40-channel mux/demux patch panel.
The Cisco ONS 15216 40-channel mux/demux patch panel is a new ONS 15216
FlexLayer unit that allows 40-channels of ITU wavelengths to be placed onto a
single fiber, and removes 40-channels of ITU wavelengths from a single fiber.
The ONS 15216 40-channel mux/demux patch panel can be odd or even patch
panels:
•
15216-MD-40-ODD=: 40-channels spaced at 100 GHz on the Odd ITU grid
•
15216-MD-40-EVEN=: 40-channels spaced at 100 GHz on the Even ITU
grid
The only difference between the 15216-MD-40-ODD and 15216-MD-40-EVEN
is the operating 100 GHz ITU grid. See
“Channel Wavelength Allocation” section
for C-band channel wavelength plan for the odd and even patch panels.
