The Cisco 15454-OC3I8-1310 is an expansion module designed to extend the capabilities of Cisco hardware platforms, providing high-speed network connectivity. This module features 8 OC-3 ports that facilitate optical network connections in SONET/SDH networks. Each port operates at a data rate of 155 Mbps, which is ideal for organisations requiring high bandwidth for demanding applications, such as video conferencing, data replication, or other real-time multimedia transfers.
Importantly, the module operates with a wavelength of 1310 nm, specifically suited for medium-range optical transmissions. It is engineered to support configurations in metro or long-haul networking environments. The long-wave/short-range (LX) support allows it to function over standard single-mode fibre, making it appropriate for distances of up to 15 kilometres without signal degradation, depending on the optical link budget and conditions.
The module integrates seamlessly with Cisco ONS 15454 platforms, supporting robust SONET/SDH functionalities such as multiplexing and protection switching to enhance network reliability. The plug-and-play nature of this unit allows for quick installation and expansion of current systems without significant disruptions to existing infrastructure, making it a practical choice for enterprise or service provider networks requiring flexible, scalable expansion options.
Additional features include support for hot-swappable functionality, allowing the module to be replaced or added without powering down the system, ensuring minimal downtime. This feature is especially critical for maintaining continuous network operation in mission-critical environments.
