15216-MD-40-EVEN Mux/Demux
Patch Panels
Introduction
This document explains how to install and operate the Cisco ONS 15216 100 GHz
40-channel mux/demux patch panel.
The Cisco ONS 15216 40-channel mux/demux patch panel is a new ONS 15216
FlexLayer unit that allows 40-channels of ITU wavelengths to be placed onto a
single fiber, and removes 40-channels of ITU wavelengths from a single fiber.
The ONS 15216 40-channel mux/demux patch panel can be odd or even patch
panels:
•15216-MD-40-ODD=: 40-channels spaced at 100 GHz on the Odd ITU grid
•15216-MD-40-EVEN=: 40-channels spaced at 100 GHz on the Even ITU
grid
The only difference between the 15216-MD-40-ODD and 15216-MD-40-EVEN
is the operating 100 GHz ITU grid. See “Channel Wavelength Allocation” section
on page 5 for C-band channel wavelength plan for the odd and even patch panels.

The patch panel can combine 40-channels of ITU wavelengths spaced at 100 GHz
to a denser DWDM signal and separate the combined signal to 40-channels of ITU
wavelengths spaced at 100 GHz. To increase the network capacity, the patch panel
is plugged with an interleaver and deinterleaver module and is used along with
another patch panel of a different grid. The interleaver module combines the
signals from the 15216-MD-40-ODD and 15216-MD-40-EVEN patch panels
spaced at 100 GHz to a denser DWDM signal spaced at 50 GHz and the
deinterleaver module splits the combined signal (80 channel signal) to the
15216-MD-40-ODD and 15216-MD-40-EVEN patch panels in the opposite
direction.
For installing the interleaver and deinterleaver module, refer to the “Installing
Cisco ONS 15216-MD-ID-50 Optical Interleaver and Deinterleaver Pluggable”
guide.
Safety Information
Before you install, operate, or service the Cisco ONS 15216 100 GHz 40-channel
mux/demux odd and even patch panels, you must read the Regulatory Compliance
and Safety Information for Cisco Optical Transport Products document for
important safety information and warning translations.
The Cisco ONS 15216-MD-40-ODD and Cisco ONS 15216-MD-40-EVEN
patch panels are compliant with the GR 1089, UL60950 /CSA 22.2 No. 60950-00,
and IEC 60950 standards.
Laser Radiation Emission Restrictions
The Class 1M Laser safety and warning label is affixed to the
Cisco ONS 15216-MD-40-ODD and Cisco ONS 15216-MD-40-EVEN patch
panels and indicates that the product should never be used or installed in an
optical network with emissions higher than Class 1M.
Warning Class 1M laser radiation when open. Do not view directly with optical
instruments. Statement 281

Laser Safety During Operation
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or
connectors. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
Statement 1051
Electrical Safety
The Cisco ONS 15216-MD-40-ODD and Cisco ONS 15216-MD-40-EVEN patch
panels are optically and electrically passive and require no electrical connections.
No electrostatic discharge (ESD) or other electrical safety considerations apply.
Product Description
The Cisco ONS 15216 40-channel mux/demux patch panel is a new
ONS 15216 FlexLayer unit that allows 40-channels of ITU wavelengths to be
placed onto a single fiber, and removes 40-channels of ITU wavelengths from a
single fiber.
The patch panel works with 100 GHz WXC cards. When the patch panel works
with 50 GHz WXC cards, the patch panel must be used with a pluggable
interleaver and deinterleaver module along with another patch panel of a different
grid.
The patch panel can be used in:
•Standalone or with existing FlexLayer OADMs
•Multiplex Add/Drop for single module ROADM
•Multiplex Add/Drop for 50 GHz WXC
Features
The patch panel provides signal multiplexing and demultiplexing in 100 GHz
channel spacing DWDM systems. It is optically and electrically passive and
requires no temperature control. It uses fused fiber coupler technologies and a

birefringent crystal technology platform. The ultra-low dispersion of the patch
panel coupled with the wide bandwidth reduces the concerns of dispersion
accumulation and bandwidth narrowing, making the patch panel ideal for
Multi-OADM Metro ring or mesh-based architectures.
Some of the operating features of the patch panel include:
•Low dispersion
•Low insertion loss
•High channel isolation
•Wide clear bandwidth
•Full C-band coverage
•Multiplex and demultiplex 40-channels
•Athermal design
Functional Description
The functional unit of the ONS 15216 odd and even patch panel is the passive
A-Thermal AWG (arrayed waveguide grating) optical module. The AWG optical
module comprises of the mux and demux module as shown in Figure 1.

Product Description
The multiplexer (mux) module combines signals from Chi-RX ports
(40-channels) into the aggregated COM-TX port. An integrated tap-coupler
combines the aggregated signals with the additional external sources injected at
AUX-MUX port. An integrated tap-coupler splits 1% of the aggregated signals
towards MON-MUX port that is used for monitoring purpose.
The demultiplexer (DMX) module separates the aggregated signals into
individual Chi-TX ports. An integrated tap-coupler splits 1% of the aggregated
signals coming from COM-RX port towards MON-DMX port that is used for
monitoring purpose.

Install Odd and Even Patch Panels
The patch panel is a new ONS 15216 FlexLayer unit that can be installed either
above or below the DWDM generating equipment according to the local site
practice.
The patch panel is 2 rack unit (RU) high. Each package includes one set of the
following brackets:
•19-inch (482.6-mm) or 23-inch (584.2-mm) reversible (two-way) mounting
brackets that can be rotated to fit either rack size. These reversible brackets
are used for EIA and IEC standard racks.
•ETSI brackets that are used for ETSI standard racks.
Note The unit is shipped with the mounting brackets in the 19-inch (482.6-mm)
position.
The patch panel is passive and requires no power cabling or connections. All
connectors are on the front panel and are equipped with LC/UPC bulkhead
adapters and with a USB Type A receptacle connector for Inventory purpose.
Fiber-optic cables equipped with the corresponding (LC/UPC) connector type are
used. The module ports are labelled on the front panel. The port assignments of
the module is provided in Figure 10 (odd patch panel) and Figure 11 (even patch
panel). Refer to Table 2 for port label description.
Caution Use only the fastening hardware provided with the ONS 15216 patch panel to
prevent loosening, deterioration, and electromechanical corrosion of the hardware
and joined material.

Installation
Caution When mounting the ONS 15216 patch panel in a frame with a nonconductive
coating (such as paint, lacquer, or enamel) use either the thread-forming screws
provided with the ONS 15216 patch panel shipping kit or remove the coating
from the threads to ensure electrical continuity.
This procedure describes the steps to install the odd and even patch panels.
Step 1 Set the mounting brackets to the rack you are using.
Note The ONS 15216 odd or even patch panels can be mounted on
19-inch (482.6-mm), 23-inch (584.2-mm) EIA standard racks, on a
19-inch (482.6-mm) IEC rack, or on a 600 mm x 600 mm or 600 mm x 300 mm
ETSI racks.
A single patch panel is 17.21 inches (437.1 mm) wide and occupies 2 RUs (3.5
inch or 88.9 mm) in a rack.
The patch panel mounting brackets can be mounted such that the patch panels
project either 2.25, 5, 6, or 6.5 inches from the front of the EIA standard racks
fixing plane, or 40 mm from the front of the IEC or ETSI standard racks fixing
plane.
Figure 2 and Figure 3 show different offsets of the ANSI bracket positions and
also mentions the 40 mm position of the ETSI brackets. The 19-inch (482.6 mm)
brackets are shown for reference in the following figures.
