Figure 4. MRC-12 Card Opens Up New Revenue Opportunities
The MRC-12 card also lowers the capital expenditure cost of the Cisco ONS 15454 system by
using many optical ports on a common carrier-based card.
Network Consolidation Node
Reducing network complexity and lowering capital expenditures is a primary need of many
businesses. The high port density and multiple-reach support through pluggable optics modules
enables users to consolidate network elements as well as simplify operations by reducing
internetwork element cabling. Figure 5 shows a traditional service provider network, with access
and interoffice networks collecting and transporting traffic. Figure 6 shows the same network using
the high-density MRC-12 card.
