Description
Introduction to the 15216-MD-ID-50
The 15216-MD-ID-50 Cisco Mux/Demux Interleaver Module is a device used in optical communication systems to multiplex (combine) and demultiplex (separate) multiple optical signals onto a single fiber or wavelength. The “50” in the name refers to the maximum number of channels that can be multiplexed on a single fiber.
The module functions as a multiplexer at the transmitter end, where multiple input signals are combined into a single optical signal. At the receiver end, the signal is demultiplexed into its original component signals. The interleaver part of the name refers to the interleaving of the input signals, which helps to reduce the impact of signal impairments such as noise and crosstalk.
This module is commonly used in high-capacity optical communication systems, such as those used in telecommunications and data centers. It provides a compact and cost-effective solution for multiplexing and demultiplexing multiple optical signals, and is known for its reliability and ease of use.
It should be noted that the 15216-MD-ID-50 is just one of many different types of mux/demux modules available, and it is important to choose the right module for your specific requirements based on factors such as channel count, data rate, and reach.
Key Features and Benefits
The 15216-MD-ID-50 Cisco Mux/Demux Interleaver Module offers several key features and benefits for users:
- High-Speed Data Transmission: With a data rate of 50 Gbps, the 15216-MD-ID-50 can handle high-speed data transmission, making it suitable for use in demanding network environments.
- Interleaving: The interleaving function of the module helps to combat errors in high-speed communication systems. By rearranging the order of the data, any errors that occur will be spread out across multiple data streams, rather than affecting a single stream in a catastrophic way.
- Multiplexing and Demultiplexing: The module is designed to multiplex multiple input streams of data into a single output stream, and demultiplex that single output stream back into the individual input streams. This makes it an efficient solution for data transport and management.
- Flexibility: The 15216-MD-ID-50 is part of the Cisco NCS 6000 series, which is a line of networking equipment designed for service providers and data center operators. This provides users with a high level of flexibility, allowing them to use the module in a variety of applications, including high-speed data transport, optical transport network (OTN) switching, and core routing.
- Scalability: The 15216-MD-ID-50 is part of a scalable network solution, allowing users to expand their network as their needs change.
- Reliability: Cisco is a well-established and trusted brand in the networking industry, and their products are known for their reliability and performance. The 15216-MD-ID-50 is no exception, providing users with a high-performance device that can be relied upon for mission-critical applications.
Technical Specifications
The 15216-MD-ID-50 Cisco Mux/Demux Interleaver Module is a piece of telecommunications equipment that is designed to be used in optical networks. Its technical specifications include:
- Compatibility: This module is designed to be used with the Cisco ONS 15216 platform, which is a multiplexer/demultiplexer system used in optical networks.
- Configuration: The module includes four independent 50 GHz interleavers, which are used to combine or separate different optical wavelengths.
- Wavelength range: The module is designed to operate in the C-band of optical wavelengths, which ranges from approximately 1530 nm to 1565 nm.
- Insertion loss: The module has a typical insertion loss of 3.2 dB, which represents the amount of optical power lost when the signal passes through the module.
- Isolation: The module provides high isolation between its different interleavers, with a typical isolation of 25 dB.
- Polarization dependence: The module has low polarization dependence, which means that it operates effectively regardless of the polarization of the incoming optical signals.
- Size and weight: The module is a compact unit that measures 8.5 x 6.9 x 0.5 inches (21.6 x 17.5 x 1.3 cm) and weighs 0.4 pounds (0.18 kg).
