400G-XP-LC card
|
The 400G-XP-LC card is a tunable DWDM trunk card that simplifies the integration and transport of 10 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces and services into enterprises and service provider optical networks. The card is a double- slot unit that
provides 400 Gbps of client and 400 Gbps of trunk capacity. The card supports six QSFP+ based client ports that can be equipped
with 4x 10 Gbps optics and four QSFP28 or QSFP+ based client ports that can be equipped with 100 Gbps QSFP28 and 4x 10 Gbps
QSFP+ optics. The card is capable of aggregating client traffic to either of the two 200 Gbps coherent CFP2 trunk ports.
The 400G-XP-LC card is supported only on Cisco ONS 15454 M6 and Cisco NCS 2015 platforms.

New MPO Cables
|
The following table lists the MPO cables that can be used with the passive modules from Release 10.6.1:
-
ONS-MPO-16LC-2—Fan-out cable with one MPO-24 connector on one side and 16 LC connectors on the other side. The cable is two
meters long and can be used in ROADM configurations with the NCS2K-MF-6AD-CFS module. This cable can also be used as a fan-out
cable to connect the LC interface directly to the SMR20 FS MPO ports.
-
ONS-12MPO-MPO-x—Multi-fiber patch cord with MPO-12 connectors. The 12 fibers have straight connections. There are four variants:
two, four, six, and eight meters. The cables can interconnect the QSFP+ client ports of NCS2K-400G-2C2 and NCS4K-4H-OPW-QC2
with the NCS2K-MF-8X10G-FO passive module.
-
ONS-12MPO-XMPO-x—Multi-fiber patch cord with MPO-12 connectors. The 12 fibers have crossed fiber interconnections. The cable
is used to interconnect the NCS2K-MF-DEG-5-CV and the NCS2K-MF-UPG-4-CV passive modules with the NCS2K-MF-MPO-8LC adapter.
-
ONS-16MPO-MPO-x—Multi-fiber patch cord with MPO-24 connectors that has only 16 fibers connected. Fibers 1, 2, 11, 12, 13,
14, 23, and 24 are not connected. The cable is used for interconnections inside the ROADM with MPO-24 standard. The patch
cord can be used for interconnections between SMR20 FS and NCS2K-MF-M16LC-CV, or NCS2K-MF-2MPO-ADP or NCS2K-PPMESH8-5AD. The
patch cord can also be used for interconnections between NCS2K-16-AD-CCOFS and NCS2K-MF-M16LC-CV.

Synchronous Ethernet
|
Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) provides synchronized timing to multiple remote network elements (NEs) without using an external
circuit for timing. SyncE provides the required synchronization at the physical level and uses the Ethernet Synchronization
Message Channel (ESMC) to enable traceability of the best clock source. SyncE clocks are compatible with the clocks used in
the SONET or SDH synchronization network.
SyncE is supported on TNCS and TNCS-O controller cards. You must enable ESMC on an OSC port to configure it as a clock source.

OTDR Enhancements
|
-
Two types of OTDR scans are available for TNCS-O cards: hybrid scan and fast scan.
When you start a fast scan on a TX or an RX port, an OTDR_FAST_SCAN_IN PROGRESS_TX or an OTDR_FAST_SCAN_IN PROGRESS_RX alarm
is raised. Fast scan shuts down the OSC channel.
When you start a hybrid scan on a TX or an RX port, an OTDR_HYBRID_SCAN_IN_PROGRESS_TX or an OTDR_HYBRID_SCAN_IN_PROGRESS_RX
alarm is raised. Hybrid scan does not shut down the OSC channel and takes more time to complete.
-
New OTDR alarms are introduced to provide more information about the OTDR events. Select an event to view its details as a
graph or in a tabular format.
-
CTC logs the data of a maximum of 32 historical OTDR scans. The history is maintained for OTDR scans in the same zone and
direction. The values of the back reflection and insertion loss are listed for each scan along with the date and timestamp.

Connection Verification Enhancements
|
-
View and troubleshoot patch cords that have an excess insertion loss higher than the threshold value.
-
View the originating and destination slots for the connection verification along with the patch cords in the cable view and
front panel view of the card.
-
If there is at least one patch cord highlighted in yellow and no patch cords highlighted in orange on a node, an IPC-VERIFICATION-DEGRADE
alarm is raised on the node.
-
If there is at least one patch cord highlighted in orange on the node, an IPC-VERIFICATION-FAIL alarm is raised on the node.
-
When the insertion loss is greater than the insertion loss degrade threshold and less than the insertion loss fail threshold,
the value of the insertion loss verification of the patch cord is degrade. The corresponding row of the patch cord in the
Connection Verification pane is highlighted in yellow.
-
When the insertion loss is greater than the insertion loss fail threshold, the value of the insertion loss verification of
the patch cord is fail. The corresponding row of the patch cord in the Connection Verification pane is highlighted in orange.
-
Connectivity verification is displayed only for an MPO cable and not for each of the patch cords in it.
