ONS 15454 60G/5G High-Order/Low-Order XC-VXC Cross-Connect Card expands the low-order bandwidth
management capabilities of the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET and SDH multiservice provisioning platforms (MSPPs).
Product Overview
The Cisco ONS 15454 60G/5G High-Order/Low-Order XC-VXC Cross-Connect Card (XC-VXC) increases the Cisco ONS 15454’s virtual
tributary (VT)1.5 and VC-12 switching matrixes by a factor of four, facilitating greater support for grooming DS-1 and E1 services and low-
order members of virtual concatenation (VCAT) groups. The XC-VXC card (Figure 1) operates in a protected 1:1 configuration, helping enable
carrier-class high availability and supporting errorless side switching. The card operates in either the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET or SDH
systems. In SONET systems, the card supports cross-connections at the VT-1.5, VT-2, STS-1, and STS-Xc (where X = 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, and
192) granularities and in SDH systems (AU-4) at VC-12, VC-11, VC-3, VC-4, and VC-4-Xc (where X = 2, 3, 4, 8, 16, and 64) granularities.
