Chapter 1
Traverse 2000 Platform
Introduction The Traverse 2000 platform is a 20-slot, 23-inch, rack-mountable shelf optimized for
stacked ring, metro/IOF hub switching and transport applications. The Traverse 2000 is
also scalable to 95 Gbps of STS/STM switching capacity, with the industry’s highest
DS1/E1 to OC-192/STM-64, 10/100, and Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) service densities.
This platform also offers a high-capacity wideband digital cross-connect matrix scales
from 96 to 384 protected STS/STM equivalents (2688 to 10,752 VT1.5s).
Note: If using a Traverse 2000 in a SONET-only DCS-768 matrix shelf configuration,
the platform supports 768 protected STS equivalents (21,504 VT1.5s).
This section has information on the following topics:
•Traverse 2000 Front View
•Traverse 2000 Rear View
•Traverse 2000 Specifications

Traverse 2000
Front View For most node configurations, eighteen slots accommodate service interface modules
and VT/TU 5G Switch cards, and two slots are dedicated to General Control Module
(GCM) cards. The Traverse 2000 shelf is configured by populating the system with
GCMs (control cards), service interface modules (SIMs or cards), and VT/TU 5G
Switch cards. Card guide rails are built into the shelf to allow for easy insertion of the
cards into connectors mounted on the backplane.
Note: For nodes configured as a DCS-768 matrix shelf, the system supports VT-HD
40G Switch cards only.

Traverse 2000
Rear View The Traverse system’s fully-meshed passive backplane provides full interconnection
for cards and external interfaces such as power, timing, alarm, management, and the fan
tray card. All power and interface connections are terminated from the rear of the
Traverse shelf, except for the serial interface and the Ethernet port (for local craft
access), which are on the front faceplate of the control card.

Slot Numbers. There are 20 slots in each Traverse 2000 shelf. For all nodes except the
DCS-768, the slot usage is:
• Slots 19 and 20 are reserved for GCM cards (control cards)
• Slots 1 through 16 are for any service interface or VT/TU 5G Switch card
• Slots 1 through 18 are for any optical interface or VT/TU 5G Switch card
For nodes commissioned as DCS-768, the slot usage is:
• Slots 19 and 20 are reserved for UGCM-XM cards (control cards)
• Slots 1 through 6 are reserved for UTMX cards
• Slots 7 through 14 are reserved for dual-slot 8-port OC-48 cards
• Slots 16 through 18 are for dual slot VT-HD 40G Switch cards
