Data Sheet Cisco ONS 15600 Multiservice Switching Platform ® Fully Cisco designed and engineered, the Cisco ONS 15600 Multiservice Switching Platform (MSSP) simplifies and revolutionizes bandwidth management in the metro core by allowing service providers to transparently integrate their metro core and metro edge networks, while dramatically reducing initial turnup costs. The Cisco ONS 15600 MSSP (Figure 1) is a true multiservice switch, providing carrierclass reliability, availability, serviceability, operations, and management. The Cisco ONS 15600 MSSP combines the functionality of multiple metro systems, including SONET/SDH multiplexers and digital cross-connect network elements, in one scalable, easy-to-use platform. The Cisco ONS 15600 MSSP supports all metro topologies such as point-to-point, linear add/drop, rings, and mesh. Figure 1. The Cisco ONS 15600 provides superior flexibility in designing next-generation metro networks. It complements the market-leading Cisco ONS 15454 MSPP as well as the Cisco ONS 15300 Series MSPPs. The Cisco ONS 15600 uses the proven architecture and operating software of the Cisco ONS 15454, allowing service providers the opportunity to dramatically simplify their metro networks and realize immediate cost, space, and operational benefits. The Cisco ONS 15600 MSSP provides complete integration of metro core and edge networks for service provisioning and network management. All contents are Copyright © 1992–2007 Cisco Systems, Inc.

Data Sheet Lowest First Cost Deploying the Cisco ONS 15600 MSSP will allow service providers to realize significant reductions in capital expenditures (CapEx) and improved time to revenue with enhanced operational capabilities. With excellent aggregation and concentration of multiple services merged with fully integrated optical transport functionality, the Cisco ONS 15600 MSSP dramatically reduces service-delivery costs. NEBS Level 3 compliant and mounted in a Telcordia NEBS 2000-compliant 7-foot rack 23 inches wide by 23 inches deep, the Cisco ONS 15600 MSSP delivers extremely high...

Data Sheet management and cable routing within the system allows room for maintenance activities yet prevents the fiber connectors from being dislodged and protects against micro-bends. ● Power – The power feeds need to be extremely robust when compared to a typical wire feed and must provide a mechanically rigid power delivery system that would be extremely difficult to displace. Each power feed to the Cisco ONS 15600 MSSP is carried over individually laminated solid metal bars that also provide an integrated approach to power filtering. These power feeds are fully redundant and fully...

Data Sheet Carrier-Class Operations The Cisco ONS 15600 provides carrier-class software features optimized for deployment in today’s large carrier networks. ● Fully nonblocking connectivity – Helps ensure that all connections made through the Cisco ONS 15600 are nonblocking, thereby providing a very high degree of network reliability. Errorless software upgrades – There are no bit errors observable in overhead or payload streams during a software upgrade on the Cisco ONS 15600. An upgrade is normally characterized by a bulk reconfiguration of the system database and/or a replacement of...

Data Sheet SONET/SDH DCC Processing Power Provides Full Visibility of the Network The Cisco ONS 15600 MSSP is capable of terminating and processing hundreds of DCC channels simultaneously, allowing full network visibility. It is this inherent capability that allows end-to-end services to be provisioned and the complete network to be monitored through management software such as Cisco Transport Controller and Cisco Transport Manager. Like the Cisco ONS 15454, the Cisco ONS 15600 MSSP uses advanced IP for DCC communications. However, Cisco realizes that many traditional metro edge network...
