Cisco PRISMA II XD User manual

One Sheet
High-density optical platform improves performance, lowers costs and
increases reliability.
The Prisma II™XD High Density optical platform provides network operators with unique
features that enable the deployment of a carrier-class network. Advanced features, such as
the highest module density in the industry, rugged construction and a unique design
optimized for easy module insertion, setup, and administration, make the Prisma II XD High
Density platform the key to increased network reliability, scalability and more cost-effective
deployments. The Prisma II XD has been designed to exclusively house and manage the
high density modules in a low profile 3RU chassis– without the need for an additional host
module.
Large-scale forward-path or reverse-path deployments need the versatility and
performance of Cisco’s Prisma II XD platform. It can house 16 modular optical transmitters
or receivers in a 3RU chassis for considerable density advantages.
Cisco’s solution results in:
•Superior Headend/Hub rack space efficiency
•Increased network reliability
•Lower maintenance costs
•Higher RF output levels
•Elimination of most reverse headend driver amplifiers
•Improved performance, low costs, and increased reliability

Prisma II XD Chassis features:
Chassis height is only 3RU; houses up to 16 high density modules
•Highest density optical transport chassis in the industry
•5.3 transport modules per 1RU of rack space
•Compatibility with the Prisma II HD modules
AC or DC powered
•Two slots on the rear of the chassis for AC modules – modules
are field replaceable, redundant and load sharing
•DC power can be wired directly to the chassis without the need
for a power supply module – reduces deployment costs;
redundant power connections provide power sharing from
chassis-to-chassis
All RF connections are made in the rear of the chassis
•RF connections for each module are made by a high-reliability
blind-mate connection on the inside backplane – no need to
physically connect the RF cables to each module; very easy to
plug-and-play
All optical connections are made in the front of the chassis
•Laser modules are designed with optical bulkheads at a 45
degree angle for eye protection as well as for improved fiber
management
•A fiber trough has been designed into the front of the chassis
for improved fiber management
•A dedicated access conduit has been designed into the
chassis to help route fiber from the front and rear of the chassis;
integrated fiber puller
A local craft port is provided on the front of the chassis for
convenient installation setup.
The communication connections are located at the rear of the
chassis; IN/OUT connections include the Element Management,
the ICIM, and the alarm contact closure block.
Three field replaceable fans on the rear of the chassis; the system
can run on two fans in the event of a single fan failure.
Excellent thermal design yields superior power efficiency,
operating at approximately 54 watts per rack unit
•Each high density modules dissipates approximately 7.5 Watts.
