announces the end-of-sale and end-of-life dates for the Cisco ONS 15454 OC-48
ELR single-port card. The last day to order the Cisco ONS 15454 OC-48 ELR single-port
card is April 12, 2008. Customers with active service contracts will continue to receive
support from the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) as shown in Table 1 of the
EoL bulletin. Table 1 describes the end-of-life milestones, definitions, and dates for the
Cisco ONS 15454 OC-48 ELR single-port card. Table 2 lists the product part numbers
affected by this announcement.
New cards, such as the 12-port multirate card (MRC-12) and 4-port multirate card (MRC-4), offer
much higher value propositions than the outgoing cards. The MRC-12 and MRC-4 accommodate
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics, providing higher port density and multirate capability
per slot than the OC-48 fixed optics cards they are replacing. Both MRC cards support not just the
OC-48 rate, but the OC-3 and OC-12 as well, scalable up to 10 Gbps on the MRC-12 and 2.5
Gbps on the MRC-4, depending on the chassis, slot, and cross-connect combination. The MRC
cards also support SFPs of different reaches such as OC-48 SR, IR, LR, and DWDM. Plus, SFPs
can be added to the cards as demand increases, and they are per-port provisionable, thereby
minimizing the initial costs and simplifying operations. Wavelengths can therefore be added or
changed without having to change the card. The MRC cards can be provisioned for operation with
SONET protection options such as unidirectional-path switched ring (UPSR), subnetwork
connection protection (SNCP), path-protected mesh network (PPMN), two-fiber or four-fiber
bidirectional line switched ring or multiplex section-shared protection ring (MS-SPR), 1+1
automatic protection switching (APS) or multiplexed switching protection (MSP), and unprotected.
