4-degree single-module 
ROADM mesh patch panel 

This passive 1RU is used in multi-degree ROADM nodes with up to four 40-SMR2-C units to provide broadcast 
functionalities and replicate to all the directions of the node the wavelengths to be routed through the ROADM node. 

The Cisco ONS 15454 single-module ROADM cards (40-SMR1-C and 40-SMR2-C) operate on the ITU 100-GHz 

wavelength plan. Each card integrates automatic per-channel power monitor and control capabilities, providing node- 

and network-based automatic-power-level management on each input and output port. Per-channel optical path 

selection is also done in a completely automated way through Wavelength Path Provisioning (WPP) at the network 

level, featuring end-to-end, point-and-click wavelength provisioning and easy SONET/SDH-like wavelength 

management. 

The ROADM node architecture has been specifically defined and engineered to provide: 

● 

High reliability 

– Enables complete independence between specific direction-facing units with the possibility 

to house units in physically separated shelves. 

● 

Automatic optical power balancing 

– Per-channel automatic power control allows a “self-healing” intelligent 

approach to DWDM, which is unique in the market. 

● 

Low insertion loss 

– Selected technology allows direct integration of different functionalities in the same 

optical module, reducing to the bare minimum the number of optical connections. 

● 

– SMR units integrate multiple functions into a single card (amplification, OSC add/drop, 

ROADM, and power monitoring), reducing node power consumption and increasing shelf throughput. 

The optical cards incorporate faceplate-mounted LEDs to provide a quick visual check of the operational status at the 

card. Printed on each of the faceplates is an icon, an orange circle, which is mapped to shelf-slot icons indicating the 

shelf slot where the card can be physically installed. The cards are supported by the integrated Cisco ONS 15454 

Cisco Transport Controller craft manager, which provides the user access for operations, administration, 

maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) for the system. Taking advantage of the embedded units

’ capabilities, Cisco 

Transport Controller can also provide a per-channel graphical representation of the optical power levels associated 

with each individual path in the ROADM nodes (Figure 2).
