The Cisco Mux/Demux Motherboard expansion module (part number 15540-MMMB-1100=) is an essential hardware component designed for multiplexing and demultiplexing optical signals, specifically tailored for Cisco's dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks. The module is used in transportation layer systems and enables greater efficiency in data transmission by combining multiple wavelengths of light on a single optical fibre and splitting them out as necessary for inbound and outbound communication.
This unit is integrated with the Cisco ONS 15540 Extended Services Platform, a device engineered for high capacity long-distance packet transmission. The board is used for splitting (demultiplexing) or combining (multiplexing) signals that share the same fibre infrastructure but operate on different wavelengths. Overall, it is a critical component in establishing a reliable, high-bandwidth optical link.
The module is supported by hot-swappable capabilities, which means the Cisco Mux/Demux expansion module can be replaced or serviced without affecting the performance of the entire system, ensuring continuous operation even during maintenance. It also comes with integrated diagnostics support to monitor the optical signal integrity, thereby providing proactive failure detection and system health checks.
Due to its robust design, the module can operate in environments demanding high-performance data transmission. Along with optical multiplexing and demultiplexing, it contributes to advanced traffic-routing configurations in mission-critical networks, offering a dynamic method to manage optical paths. It plays an important role in reducing operational costs while enhancing network scalability.
