PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The ASAP service cards on the Cisco ONS 15600 Series consist of a single ASAP carrier card that can hold up to four pluggable input/output (ASAP 4-PIO or ASAP 1-PIO) modules. Each ASAP 4-PIO module can hold up to four Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics, each with a maximum data rate of 2.5 Gbps. The ASAP 4-PIO module supports both fixed-rate and multirate optics and 2.5-Gbps DWDM in Release 6.0. The three fixed-rate SFP optics offered are a 155-Mbps long-reach (LR-2), a 622-Mbps LR-2, and a 2.5-Gbps LR-2. The multirate SFP optics can be software-configurable to 155-Mbps short-reach (SR-1), 622-Mbps SR-1, 2.5-Gbps intermediate-reach (IR-1), or Gigabit Ethernet. Each ASAP 1-PIO module holds one small form-factor pluggable (XFP) optic, with a data rate of 10 Gbps. The ASAP 1-PIO module supports fixed-rate optics in Release 7.2. The two fixed-rate XFP optics offered are a 10-Gbps LR-2 and a 10-Gbps SR-1. Table 1 outlines the possible configurations of ASAP and the optics that are supported.
