I-Flex design combines shared port adapters (SPAs) and SPA interface processors
(SIPs), using an extensible design that enables service prioritization for voice, video, and data
services. Enterprise and service provider customers can use the improved slot economics
resulting from modular port adapters that are interchangeable across Cisco routing platforms. The
I-Flex design maximizes connectivity options and offers superior service intelligence through
programmable interface processors, which deliver line-rate performance. I-Flex enhances speed-
to-service revenue and provides a rich set of quality-of-service (QoS) features for premium service
delivery while effectively reducing the overall cost of ownership. This data sheet contains the
specifications for the Cisco 1-Port 10GE Tunable WDM-PHY Interface SPA.
Product Overview
The Cisco 1-Port 10GE Tunable WDM-PHY SPA provides a tunable optical interface that can be
used to connect directly to dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) transport systems,
eliminating the need for an optical transponder. The Tunable WDM-PHY SPA provides full 80-
channel tunability with 50-GHz spacing across the C band and meets ITU specifications. It
supports G.709 framing for robust connectivity and SONET-like operations, administration,
maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) as well as generic forward error correction (GFEC) for
regional applications. For long-haul application support, the high-gain enhanced forward error
correction (EFEC) functionality is provided, which can extend optical reach up to 2000 km without
optical-electrical regeneration.
The 10GE Tunable WDM-PHY SPA is part of the Cisco IP-over-DWDM solution portfolio. Service
providers benefit from IP-over-DWDM integration through faster service provisioning, increased
reliability, and simplified network management. Integrated DWDM transponders simplify the
network by reducing the number of network elements and also scale at a lower total cost to reduce
bandwidth cost. Finally, IP-over-DWDM solutions allow service providers to more cost-effectively
use the rich QoS and IP intelligence of Cisco routers in their transport networks.
