A.9.8    MXP_MR_10DME_C Card Specifications
 –
ISC peer 2G
 –
ONE_GE—One Gigabit Ethernet 1.125 Gbps
 –
Mixed configurations up to maximum line rate of 10.0 Gbps. See the 
“8.10  MXP_MR_10DME_C and MXP_MR_10DME_L Cards” section on page 8-51 for more 
information on mixed-mode operation.
 • Client ports: 8x SFP
 • Line (trunk side) 
 –
Bit rate: 9.952 Gbps for OC-192/STM-64
 –
Code: Scrambled NRZ 
 –
Fiber: 1550-nm single-mode
 –
Loopback modes: Terminal and facility
Caution You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the 
MXP_MR_10DME_C card in a loopback on the trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks 
with the MXP_MR_10DME_C cards. Using direct fiber loopbacks causes irreparable damage 
to the MXP_MR_10DME_C cards.

Connectors: LC 
 • Transmitter (trunk side) 
 –
Minimum output power: +3 dBm
 –
Maximum output power: +6 dBm
 –
Minimum Single-Mode Suppression Ratio (SMSR): 30 dB
 –
Minimum optical extinction ratio: 10 dB
 –
41 wavelength tunability at 100-GHz spacing
 –
Receiver maximum return reflectance (Rx return loss): –27 dB
 –
Chromatic dispersion allowance: 5400 ps/nm, giving an optical power penalty < 2.0 dB
 –
Minimum side mode suppression ratio: 30 dB
 –
Wavelength stability (drift): +/– 25 picometers (pm)
Note An optical device on the card keeps the laser wavelength locked as closely as possible to the ITU nominal 
value. The allowed drift is +/– 25 pm.
