8.11.3    Client Interface
8.11.3 Client Interface
The client interface is implemented with separately orderable SFP or XFP modules. The client interfaces 
support the following tri-rate SFPs and XFPs using dual LC connectors and multi-mode fiber: 
 • SFP- GE/1G-FC/2G-FC - 850 nm - MM - LC (PID ONS-SE-G2F-SX)
 • SFP - GE/1G-FC/2G-FC 1300 nm - SM - LC (PID ONS-SE-G2F-LX)
 • SFP - GE/1G-FC/2G-FC 1300 nm - SM - LC (PID ONS-SE-G2F-ZX)
 • SFP - 10/100/1000Base-T - Copper (PID ONS-SE-ZE-EL) Intra office up to 100; 
Cable: RJ45 STP CAT5, CAT5E, and CAT6
Note When using the ONS-SE-ZE-EL pluggable port module in the GE_XP card, the maximum throughput 
is 98.5%.
The client interfaces support the following dual-rate XFP using dual LC connectors and single-mode 
fiber:
 • XFP - OC-192/STM-64/10GE/10-FC/OTU2 - 1310 SR - SM LC (PID: ONS-XC-10G-S1)
Note On GE_XP card, the copper Pluggable Port Module (PPM) interface can auto-negotiate and carry traffic 
even when the peer interface operates at rates other than 1000 Mbps.
8.11.4 DWDM Trunk Interface 
The GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards have two 10GE trunk ports operating at 10GE (10.3125 Gbps) or 10GE 
into OTU2 (nonstandard 10.0957 Gbps). The ports are compliant with ITU-T G.707, ITU-T G.709, and 
Telcordia GR-253-CORE standards. The ports are capable of carrying C band and L band wavelengths 
through insertion of DWDM XFPs. Forty channels are available in the 1550-nm C band 100-GHz ITU 
grid, and forty channels are available in the L band.
The maximum system reach in filterless applications without the use of optical amplification or 
regenerators is nominally rated at 23 dB over C-SMF fiber. This rating is not a product specification, but 
is given for informational purposes. It is subject to change.
8.11.5 Configuration Management
The GE_XP and 10GE_XP cards support the following configuration management parameters:
 • Port name—User-assigned text string.
 • Admin State/Service State—Administrative and service states to manage and view port status.
 • MTU—Provisionable maximum transfer unit (MTU) to set the maximum number of bytes per 
frames accepted on the port.
 • Mode—Provisional port mode, either Autonegotiation or the port speed.
 • Flow Control—Flow control according to IEEE 802.1x pause frame specification can be enabled or 
disabled for TX and RX ports.
 • Bandwidth—Provisionable maximum bandwidth allowed for the port.
