Optical Amplifier Cards
This chapter describes the optical amplifier cards used in Cisco ONS 15454 dense wavelength division
multiplexing (DWDM) networks. For installation and card turn-up procedures, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide. For card safety and compliance information, refer to the
Cisco Optical Transport Products Safety and Compliance Information document.
Note Unless otherwise specified, “ONS 15454” refers to both ANSI and ETSI shelf assemblies.

4.1 Card Overview
This section provides summary and compatibility information for the optical amplifier cards.
Note Each card is marked with a symbol that corresponds to a slot (or slots) on the ONS 15454 shelf assembly.
Cards should be installed in slots that have the same symbols. See the “1.16.1 Card Slot Requirements”
section on page 1-61 for a list of slots and symbols.
Optical amplifiers are used in amplified nodes (such as hub nodes), amplified OADM nodes, and line
amplifier nodes. The seven types of ONS 15454 DWDM amplifiers are:
• Optical Preamplifier (OPT-PRE)
• Optical Booster amplifier (OPT-BST)
