Interface Module

The Cisco

CRS-1 Carrier Routing System is the first carrier router offering continuous

system operation, unprecedented service flexibility, and system longevity. The Cisco

CRS-1 is powered by Cisco IOS

XR Software – a unique self-healing, distributed

operating system designed for always-on operation while scaling system capacity up to 92

Tbps. The innovative system architecture combines the Cisco Silicon Packet Processor,

the first programmable 40-Gbps application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), with the

Cisco Service Separation Architecture for superior service flexibility and speed to service.

The Cisco CRS-1 marks a new era in carrier IP Communications by powering the

foundation for network and service convergence today while protecting investments for

decades to come.

Product Overview

This data sheet provides detailed product specifications for an important element of the Cisco IP-

over-DWDM solution, the Cisco CRS-1 1-Port OC-768c/STM-256c Tunable WDMPOS Interface

Module (Figure 1). The module helps service providers to increase efficiencies, improve reliability,

and reduce operational and capital costs by eliminating expensive and bulky optical transponder

equipment, even as video-based applications rapidly increase traffic in their DWDM networks. The

module connects directly into any DWDM network and provides up to 40 Gbps of data throughput

across existing 10-Gbps DWDM systems. The module is completely tunable across the C band

with 50-GHz spacing and supports high-gain Enhanced Forward Error Correction (EFEC),

extending reach up to 1000 kilometers (km) without requiring signal regeneration. For more
