Cisco ONS 15216 Exposed Faceplate Mux/Demux 
40-Channel Patch Panel 

Product Overview 

The Cisco

®

 ONS 15216 Exposed Faceplate Mux/Demux 40-Channel Patch Panel is a standalone unit that contains 

both a 40-channel optical multiplexer and a 40-channel optical de

multiplexer, precabled within the unit’s housing. 

Two models are available: 15216-EF-40-ODD includes the odd-numbered frequencies as defined by ITU G.694.2, 

while 15216-EF-40-EVEN includes the even-numbered frequencies. The two units can be combined using the 

Cisco ONS 15216 48 Channels 50 GHz De-Interleaver with Coupler for an in-service capacity upgrade from 40 to 

80 channels. 

The Cisco ONS 15216 Exposed Faceplate Mux/Demux 40-Channel Patch Panel is identical to the existing Cisco 

ONS 15216 Mux/Demux 40-Channel Patch Panel, with the exception of a simpler fiber management system. This 

is achieved by replacing the moving parts and door with lateral clips and tie wraps for fiber and USB cable 

management as shown in Figure 1.

The physical arrangement of the ports also differs from that of the Cisco ONS 15216 40-Channel Mux/Demux 

Patch Panel. Instead of 10 columns and 4 rows to accommodate the 40 channels, ports are now arranged in 8 

columns and 5 rows. The placement of the clips provides optimal fiber routing, facilitating the addition of fibers in 

an incremental manner and resulting in a simple design that is easy to maintain and troubleshoot. A separate tie 

wrap is provided for fastening the USB cable used for passive inventory management. 

Figures 2 through 4 illustrate the different application configurations in which the Cisco ONS 15216 Mux/Demux 

Patch Panels can be deployed.
