Chapter 2 Introduction to the Cisco SCE8000 Platform
The Cisco SCE8000 Optical Bypass
Optical Bypass Module (OPB-SCE8K)
There are two types of optical bypass modules to support different optic types:
• OPB-SCE8K-SM supports Single-Mode optics and should be used with SCE8000 equipped with
Single-Mode optics.
• OPB-SCE8K-MM supports Multi-Mode optics and should be used with SCE8000 equipped with
Multi-Mode optics.
The optical bypass module is installed either internally, in slot #4 of the Cisco SCE8000 chassis or in an
external mounting panel in the rack.
Up to two optical bypass modules can be mounted internally, supporting inline insertion into two links.
Up to four optical bypass modules can be mounted using an external mount panel
(OPB-SCE8K-EXT-PNL). A single panel can serve two SCE8000 platforms, each cutting two links or
up to four SCE8000 platforms, each cutting a single link.
