The figure below shows an example of two FLX-216i line cards installed in each Z-Series shelf in a ring
topology, providing aggregation and transport of Ethernet and SONET/SDH over the same wave. The two
FLX-216i line cards in each shelf are interconnected via fiber jumpers on OTU2 trunk ports on the
faceplate. The optical layer is provided by LAD or WSS transport line cards.
