Statement 1051
Electrical Safety
The Cisco ONS 15216-MD-40-ODD and Cisco ONS 15216-MD-40-EVEN patch
panels are optically and electrically passive and require no electrical connections.
No electrostatic discharge (ESD) or other electrical safety considerations apply.
Product Description
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 patch panel works with 100 GHz WXC cards. When the patch panel works
with 50 GHz WXC cards, the patch panel must be used with a pluggable
interleaver and deinterleaver module along with another patch panel of a different
grid.
The patch panel can be used in:
•
Standalone or with existing FlexLayer OADMs
•
Multiplex Add/Drop for single module ROADM
•
Multiplex Add/Drop for 50 GHz WXC
Features
The patch panel provides signal multiplexing and demultiplexing in 100 GHz
channel spacing DWDM systems. It is optically and electrically passive and
requires no temperature control. It uses fused fiber coupler technologies and a
