The 8-channel Add or Drop Flex Layer module is a completely passive unidirectional
component that allows the insertion or the extraction of 8 channels within the ONS 15216
channel plan. Four specific versions are available to cover the whole 32-channel
bandwidth.
Figure 1 shows the unit functional block diagram. In reference to Figure 1, the signal flows
from left to right when the unit is used as a drop site and fromright to left when the unit is
used as an add site.
When the unit is used as a drop component, the WDM composite signal coming from the
DROP-COM-RX port is filtered sequentially by a band filter and a channel filter and the
filtered channels are dropped at the eight DROP-CH-TX ports. The rest of the WDM
composite signal is sent to the DROP-COM-TX port.
When the unit is used as an add component, the eight channels coming from the 8 ADD-
CH-RX parts are added to the WDM composite signal coming from the ADD-COM-RX
ports. The muxed WDM composite signal is sent to the ADD-COM-TX port.

The 2-channel Add or Drop Flex Layer module is a completely passive unidirectional
component that allows the insertion or the extraction of 2 channels within the ONS 15216
channel plan. Sixteen specific versions are available to cover the whole 32-channel
bandwidth.
Figure 1 shows the unit functional block diagram. In Figure 1, the signal flows from left to
right when the unit is used as a drop site and from right to left when the unit is used as an
add site.
When the unit is used as a drop component, the WDM composite signal coming from the
DROP-COM-RX port is filtered sequentially by two filters and the filtered channels are
dropped at the two DROP-CH-TX ports. The rest of the WDM composite signal is sent to
the DROP-COM-TX port.
When the unit is used as an add component, the added channels coming from the 2 ADD-
CH-RX ports are combined with the WDM composite signal coming from the ADD-COM-
RX port. The muxed WDM composite signal is sent to the ADD-COM-TX port.

Coupler Splitter
The 1:x Splitter/x:1 Coupler (x being 2, 3, or 4), are completely passive components that
can be used as splitters or couplers. These modules can be used to couple the composite
outputs (ADD-COM-TX ports) of the Optical Add or Drop Flex Layer modules or split their
input signal to the composite input (DROP-COM-RX) of the Optical Add or Drop Flex Layer
modules.
Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the unit block diagrams of the 1:2 Splitter/2:1
Coupler, 1:3 Splitter/3:1 Coupler, and the 1:4 Splitter/4:1 Coupler respectively. With
reference to the Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3, the signal flows from bottom to right
when the component is used as a coupler and from right to bottomwhen the component is
used as splitter.
When the module is used as a coupler, the individual signals enter the card from the CPL-
RX ports and are coupled together through a passive coupler to the CPL-TX port.
When the module is used as a splitter, the composite signal enters the card from the SPL-
RX port and is split through a passive splitter to individual signals to the SPL-TX ports.

Y-Cable Protection Flex Layer Modules
The Y-cable protection module is a bidirectional module that is equipped with a passive
splitter and passive coupler.
The purpose of this module is to provide Y-Cable protection for transponder cards such as
the ONS15454 multirate and 10G transponders. This allows a path for the working client
transmit interface to connect to the network in the event the opposite interface in the
protection pair should fail.
There are two versions of this unit, one for multimode applications (CS-MM-Y) and one for
single mode applications (CS-SM-Y).
Figure 1 shows the unit block diagram of the Y-cable protection module.
When the module is used in the coupler direction, the individual signals enter the module
from the CPL-RX ports and pass through a passive coupler to the CPL-TX port.
When the module is used in the splitter direction, the signal enters the module from the
SPL-RX port and is split through a passive splitter to individual signals to the SPL-TX
ports.

Module.
Figure 3 shows how the module front panel ports are mapped and labeled. The multimode
unit is mapped and labeled the same as the single mode unit.

Four Channel VOA Flex Layer Module
The four-channel Optical Variable Attenuator (VOA) module is a completely passive
unidirectional component that allows equalizing the optical power of up to 4 channel
groups.
Figure 1 shows the physical appearance of the ONS15216 four channel VOA Flex Layer
Module. VOA adjustment access is identified by VOA adjustment ports VOA 1 to 4 Adjust.
Figure 2 shows the unit functional block diagram. The input signals always flow from the
VOA#-RX ports to the VOA#-TX ports. The pound (#) in the previous name convention
identifies the number of ports and is limited from 1 to 4. The input signals are attenuated by
the manual adjustment of the VOAs that are placed between the input and output ports.
Figure 3 shows how the module front panel ports are mapped and labeled. The VOA#-TX
ports are mapped with the even ports from 2 to 8 and the VOA#-RX ports are mapped with
the odd ports from 1 to 7.

Cisco ONS 15216 Optical Supervisor Channel
(OSC-1510)
OSC for Ethernet connectivity from NOC to each
network device
Interface connectors
OSC Add/Drop ports: West and East directions
Monitor ports: West and East directions
SC-type connectors
The Cisco ONS 15216 Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) 1510 allows communication to
any site without the need for a functioning OADM, EDFA, or mux/demux at that site. This
type of communication is established by removing the OSC signal from the composite
DWDM signal before the composite signal passes through any other ONS 15216
equipment. The OSC signal is then added into the composite signal enabling Ethernet
connectivity from the network operations center (NOC) to each device on the ring.
The ONS 15216 OSC-1510 is a 1-RU 19- or 23-inch rack-mounted shelf assembly. To
help with port identification and cabling, there is a retractable tray located under the front
panel that contains a port layout diagram.
The front panel of the OSC-1510 is shown in Figure 1. The OSC Add/Drop ports are used
to pass through the OSC signals in West and East directions. Monitor ports in West and
East directions are also provided so a user can check for the presence of the OSC channel
in the composite DWDM signal. The ONS 15216 OSC-1510 uses SC-type optical
connectors.
