End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco
ONS 15454E STM-64 Fixed Optics Cards

EOL5831

Cisco Systems

announces the end-of-sale and end-of life dates for the Cisco ONS

15454E STM-64 Fixed Optics Cards. The last day to order the Cisco ONS 15454E STM-

64 Fixed Optics Cards is July 30, 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 15454E STM-64 Fixed Optics Cards. Table 2 lists the

product part numbers affected by this announcement.

The Cisco ONS 15454E STM-64 XFP-based optics card provides a single XFP-based

pluggable optics module with greater benefits than the fixed optics cards it replaces. It

provides multiple-reach capabilities including intraoffice (IH), short-haul (SH), long-haul

(LH), and ITU DWDM frequencies. Additionally, the I1-only card provides a cost-effective,

fixed IH configuration to support first cost-sensitive installations where flexibility is not

paramount. It offers more cost-effective sparing of XFPs versus fixed card alternatives,

making it suitable for all metro applications between central offices, colocation offices, or

enterprise and campus facilities with span lengths from 2 km to 80 km. It supports many

user applications through plug-in devices and simplifies support for system changes. The

STM-64 XFP card can carry concatenated payloads of VC-4, VC-4-2c, VC-4-4c, VC-4-8c,

and VC-4-16c, as well as nonconcatenated payloads on an VC-4, VC-3, VC-12, and VC-

11 basis. In SONET applications, the card is software-provisionable to transport SDH

payloads over SONET in the form of STS-Nc-concatenated payloads. The card port can

be commissioned for use in unidirectional-path switched ring/subnetwork connection

protection (UPSR/SNCP), 2-fiber and 4-fiber bidirectional line switched ring/multiplex

section-shared protection ring (BLSR/MS-SPR), 1+1 automatic protection switching/line

multiplex section protection (APS/LMSP), or path-protected mesh network (PPMN)

architectures, providing the flexibility to build the type of networks required to meet service

demands, traffic patterns, and user needs. The card supports in-service bandwidth

upgrade capabilities from lower-speed cards, including the single-port STM-4, STM-16,

and STM-64 cards, using the Cisco Transport Controller’s simple span-upgrade wizard.
