A.9.10 TXP_MR_10E Card Specifications
The TXP_MR_10E card has the following specifications:
 • Line (trunk side) 
 –
Bit rate: OC-192/STM-64 (9.95328 Gbps), OTU2 (10.70923 Gbps), 10GE (10.3125 Gbps), 
10GE into OTU2 (non-standard 11.0957 Gbps), 10G FC (10.51875 Gbps), or 10G FC into 
OTU2 (non-standard 11.31764 Gbps)
 –
Code: Scrambled NRZ 
 –
Fiber: 1550-nm single-mode
 –
Maximum chromatic dispersion allowance: +/– 1200 ps/nm (specified penalty) 
 –
Loopback modes: Terminal and facility
Caution You must use a 15-dB fiber attenuator (10 to 20 dB) when working with the TXP_MR_10E 
card in a loopback on the trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the TXP_MR_10E 
card. Using direct fiber loopbacks causes irreparable damage to the TXP_MR_10E card.
 –
Connectors: LC 
 • Transmitter (trunk side) 
 –
Maximum transmitter output power: +6 dBm 
 –
Minimum transmitter output power: +3 dBm for C band and +2 dBm for L band
 –
Transmitter: LN external modulator transmitter
 –
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.
 • Currently available wavelengths and versions of TXP_MR_10E: 
C-band frequency plan (eight card versions, each with four tunable channels on the ITU 100-GHz 
grid):
 –
1530.33 to 1533.07 nm (four channels)
 –
1534.25 to 1537.00 nm (four channels)
 –
1538.19 to 1540.95 nm (four channels)
