Optical Add/Drop Cards
This chapter describes optical add/drop 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.

6.1 Card Overview
The card overview section contains card overview, software compatibility, interface class, and channel
allocation information for optical add/drop cards.
Note Each card is marked with a symbol that corresponds to a slot (or slots) on the ONS 15454 shelf assembly.
The cards are then installed into slots displaying the same symbols. See the “1.16.1 Card Slot
Requirements” section on page 1-61 for a list of slots and symbols.
Optical add/drop cards are divided into two groups: band optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) cards
and channel OADM cards. Band OADM cards add and drop one or four bands of adjacent channels. The
cards in this chapter, including the 4-Band OADM (AD-4B-xx.x) and the 1-Band OADM (AD-1B-xx.x)
are utilized only in the C band. Channel OADM cards add and drop one, two, or four adjacent channels;
they include the 4-Channel OADM (AD-4C-xx.x), the 2-Channel OADM (AD-2C-xx.x), and the
1-Channel OADM (AD-1C-xx.x).
