Description
Connector Type of Access Devices
The 15216-MD-40-ODD Cisco ONS 15216 Network Patch Panel supports a variety of connector types, providing flexibility for different optical network applications. The patch panel is designed to accommodate up to 40 ports, each of which can be used with one of the following connector types:
- LC (Lucent Connector): This connector type is widely used in high-density applications due to its small size and snap-in design. It is commonly used with single-mode and multimode fiber optic cables.
- SC (Subscriber Connector): This connector type is a popular choice for enterprise and campus networks. It features a push-pull design that allows for quick and easy insertion and removal. It is commonly used with single-mode and multimode fiber optic cables.
- ST (Straight Tip Connector): This connector type is an older design that is less commonly used in modern networks. It features a bayonet-style twist lock that provides a secure connection. It is commonly used with multimode fiber optic cables.
The choice of connector type depends on the specific requirements of the optical network application. For example, LC connectors are commonly used in high-density data center applications, while SC connectors are often used in enterprise and campus networks. ST connectors are less common but can still be found in some legacy applications
Maximum Input Power
The Maximum Input Power of the 15216-MD-40-ODD Cisco ONS 15216 Network Patch Panel is the highest level of optical power that the patch panel can handle without causing damage to the network equipment or the patch panel itself.
Excessive input power can cause damage to optical components, including photodetectors, amplifiers, and other active components. This can lead to degraded network performance or even network downtime. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the input power of the patch panel is within the specified range.
The 15216-MD-40-ODD patch panel has a maximum input power of +23 dBm (200 mW). This means that the optical power entering the patch panel should not exceed +23 dBm. If the input power is higher than this limit, the patch panel may be damaged, and the network equipment may be affected as well.
It is important to note that the maximum input power is a rating for the patch panel as a whole and not for individual ports. The power handling capacity of each port may vary depending on the connector type, fiber type, and other factors.
Environmental Requirements
The 15216-MD-40-ODD Cisco ONS 15216 Network Patch Panel has certain environmental requirements that should be taken into consideration when deploying the device. These requirements are designed to ensure the reliable and safe operation of the patch panel in a variety of conditions.
- Temperature: The operating temperature range of the 15216-MD-40-ODD patch panel is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). This range should be maintained to ensure the proper functioning of the device. Temperature outside of this range can cause thermal stress to the electronic components, which can lead to failures or degraded performance.
- Humidity: The operating humidity range of the 15216-MD-40-ODD patch panel is 5% to 95% non-condensing. High humidity can cause corrosion of electronic components and may lead to short circuits or other damage.
- Altitude: The 15216-MD-40-ODD patch panel can operate at altitudes of up to 3000 meters (9842 feet) without any degradation in performance.
- Airflow: The patch panel requires adequate airflow to prevent overheating. Sufficient clearance should be provided around the device to ensure that the air can circulate freely.
- Vibration and Shock: The patch panel is designed to withstand mechanical shocks and vibrations within the limits specified in the product datasheet.
- Power supply: The patch panel requires a power supply that meets the voltage and current requirements specified in the product datasheet. In addition, the power supply should be free from voltage spikes, surges, or dips, which can cause damage to the patch panel.
