16.8.3 TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G Cards
Note ITU-T G.709 specifies a form of FEC that uses a “wrapper” approach. The digital wrapper lets you
transparently take in a signal on the client side, wrap a frame around it, and restore it to its original form.
FEC enables longer fiber links because errors caused by the optical signal degrading with distance are
corrected.
The trunk/line port operates at up to 2.488 Gbps (or up to 2.66 Gbps with ITU-T G.709 Digital
Wrapper/FEC) over unamplified distances up to 360 km (223.7 miles) with different types of fiber such
as C-SMF or higher if dispersion compensation is used.
Caution Because the transponder has no capability to look into the payload and detect circuits, a TXP_MR_2.5G
or TXPP_MR_2.5G card does not display circuits under card view.
The TXP_MR_2.5G and TXPP_MR_2.5G cards support 2R and 3R modes of operation where the client
signal is mapped into a ITU-T G.709 frame. The mapping function is simply done by placing a digital
wrapper around the client signal. Only OC-48/STM-16 client signals are fully ITU-T G.709 compliant,
and the output bit rate depends on the input client signal. Table 16-54 shows the possible combinations
of client interfaces, input bit rates, 2R and 3R modes, and ITU-T G.709 monitoring.
The output bit rate is calculated for the trunk bit rate by using the 255/238 ratio as specified in
ITU-T G.709 for OTU1. Table 16-55 lists the calculated trunk bit rates for the client interfaces with
ITU-T G.709 enabled.
