Utilizing GbE and 10GbE switching and transport, the Z33 platform provides 2.5G CWDM transport, 10G
DWDM transport, OTN digital wrapper functionality, and multi-layer optimization and management.
The Z33, with a WSS-402 or WSS-404 module installed and paired with a passive AWG-40 optical patch
panel, provides a full ROADM with OOO switching and optical pass through. The WSS-402 provides 2
degrees and the WSS-404 provides 4 degrees of 40-wavelength cross-connect capacity in a single Z33 shelf.
Each WSS module provides optical add/drop multiplexing capability in the 1550nm band across
pre-defined ITU channel designations with 100 GHz spacing.
The shelf is optimized for edge and access node applications. The 5
RU chassis with six line card slots and
two common equipment modules can be equipped with any combination of Ethernet, CWDM, and DWDM
line cards to support a range of advanced services and applications. Further scalability is accomplished by
simply adding additional Z33 shelves or by redeploying interchangeable Z33 line cards into the
larger-capacity Z77 platform for increased aggregation and grooming.
The Z33 shelf provides the following key features:
• Supports 1 to 40 lambda 10G waves in ITU grid 100 GHz DWDM channel spacing.
• Supports CWDM (20nm spacing) capability with the addition of the LAC-8 module.
• Supports addition of 2.5G waves using SFT-8 modules.
• Supports 2-degree (East/West) configurations (WSS-402) or 4-degree (North/South/East/West)
configurations (WSS-404).
• 6 service slots, 2 Common Equipment Module (CEMi) slots (A and B).
• All Z-Series modules are hot-swappable.
• Over 100 Gbps per slot capacity.
• Service cards are common with the Z-Series platform. The CEMi controller cards are specific to the
Z33 and Z22 chassis.
The card/slot restrictions are as follows:
• Slots 1 and 2 must be the first slots that are occupied in the chassis.
• Slots 1 and 2 must contain a line card with management processing capability. These line cards
include: 2.5G-LME4, PME-412, PME-216i, DTM-8, DTM-8G, DTM-100G, SFT-8, SFT-10G16,
MSE-1482, WSS-402, and WSS-404 but not any LAD or LAC-8 modules.
