The Cisco Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Xenpaks allow to integrate WDM transport directly with Cisco 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches and routers. The DWDM Xenpaks (GBICs) and DWDM optical filter and amplifier products (Cisco ONS15216 Series) enable the design of a flexible and highly available multi-service network. The DWDM Xenpaks support 100GHZ ITU grid and match 4-skip-1 channel plan of Cisco ONS 100GHZ products. The DWDM XENPAKs can be used for un-amplified and amplified designs to transmit upto 320 Gigabit over the same pair of SMF.
The Cisco Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) GBICs allow to integrate WDM transport directly with Cisco Gigabit Ethernet switches and routers. Just like DWDM Xenpak, the DWDM GBICs interoperate with the same ONS equipment. They can be used for un-amplified and amplified designs to transmit upto 32 Gigabit over the same pair of SMF.
