Cisco Systems 15454-40-MUX-C= - 40CH Multiplexer C-Band Odd

The new 40-channel Wavelength (40-WXC) card and the software functionalities extended from previous releases provide multidegree switching capabilities at the individual wavelength level. Mesh and multiring network topologies can now be deployed using Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP platform with complete flexibility of service routing at all nodes in the network. While Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) units provide degree-2 type reconfigurability (drop wavelength in a node vs. let it pass through the node) an ROADM node based on 40-WXC units can support up to degree-8 reconfigurability.
