8.10 MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L Cards
8.10 MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L Cards
The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards aggregate a mix of client SAN service client
inputs (GE, FICON, and Fibre Channel) into one 10.0 Gbps STM-64/OC-192 DWDM signal on the trunk
side. It provides one long-reach STM-64/OC-192 port per card and is compliant with Telcordia
GR-253-CORE and ITU-T G.957.
The cards support aggregation of the following signal types:
• 1-Gigabit Fibre Channel
• 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel
• 4-Gigabit Fibre Channel
• 1-Gigabit Ethernet
• 1-Gigabit ISC-Compatible (ISC-1)
• 2-Gigabit ISC-Peer (ISC-3)
Note On the card faceplates, the MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards are displayed as
10DME_C and 10DME_L, respectively.
Caution The card can be damaged by dropping it. Handle it safely.
The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L muxponders pass all SONET/SDH overhead
bytes transparently.
The digital wrapper function (ITU-T G.709 compliant) formats the DWDM wavelength so that it can be
used to set up GCCs for data communications, enable FEC, or facilitate PM. The MXP_MR_10DME_C
and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards work with the OTN devices defined in ITU-T G.709. The cards support
ODU1 to OTU2 multiplexing, an industry standard method for asynchronously mapping a SONET/SDH
payload into a digitally wrapped envelope. See the “8.7.7 Multiplexing Function” section on page 8-31.
Note Because the client payload cannot oversubscribe the trunk, a mix of client signals can be accepted, up to
a maximum limit of 10 Gbps.
You can install MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
Note The MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L cards are not compatible with the
MXP_2.5G_10G card, which does not support transparent termination mode.
The MXP_MR_10DME_C card features a tunable 1550-nm C-band laser on the trunk port. The laser is
tunable across 82 wavelengths on the ITU grid with 50-GHz spacing between wavelengths. The
MXP_MR_10DME_L features a tunable 1580-nm L-band laser on the trunk port. The laser is tunable
across 80 wavelengths on the ITU grid, also with 50-GHz spacing. Each card features four 1310-nm
lasers on the client ports and contains five transmit and receive connector pairs (labeled) on the card
faceplate. The cards uses dual LC connectors on the trunk side and use SFP modules on the client side
for optical cable termination. The SFP pluggable modules are SR or IR and support an LC fiber
connector.
