Cisco ONS 15500
New and Used Cisco ONS 15500
The Cisco ONS 15500 Series is designed for carrying mission-critical
storage and data applications over a highly-available metro optical
dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) network. The Cisco ONS
15500 Series includes the ONS 15530 DWDM Multiservice Aggregation
Platform, ONS 15540 ESPx Extended Services Platform, and ONS 15501 EDFA
Optical Solutions Amplifier.
The Cisco ONS 15530 offers service aggregation capabilities for services
such as Enterprise Systems Connection, Fibre Channel, IBM Fiber
Connection, and Gigabit Ethernet.
The ONS 15540 ESPx system with its external cross-connect functionality
and newly introduced cable management system supports high-density
transparent services and enhanced configuration flexibility for both
client transponder placement in the chassis and direct ITU insertion
from a Cisco ONS 15454 or ONS 15530. It also permits cross connection of
individual wavelengths at a node, which contributes to a more efficient
network.
The transparent wavelength density of the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx and the
service aggregation and stacking capability of the Cisco ONS 15530
together lead the industry in service density, scalability, flexibility,
reliability, and price.
