Upgrading from a Single Channel to the Maximum Number of Channels
Technical Specifications
This chapter discusses the technical specifications for the Cisco ONS 15216 EDFA2.
Optical Specifications
ONS 15216 EDFA2 optical specifications are listed and described in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 ONS 15216 EDFA2 Optical Specifications
Input signal wavelength
1530 nm to 1563 nm
Input power (channel total)
-27 dBm to 4 dBm (total all channels)
See the "Maximum Input Power" section and "Upgrading from a Single Channel to the Maximum Number of Channels" section for additional information.
Note
In the event of a fiber cut or loss of connection, and there is no input power, the ONS 15216 EDFA2 has -3.5 dBm of output power. For additional safety information and requirements, see the "Safety Requirements" section on page 3-5.
Mode of operation
Unidirectional (Two common fibers: one for Transmit and one for Receive)
Maximum output power
17 dBm
Signal gain per channel
13 dB to 22 dB
Channel gain deviation from setpoint
± 1.25
Gain flattened
< 2 dB (Peak to Valley)
Maximum noise figure
7 dB
Polarization mode dispersion (PMD)
< 0.6 ps
Input/output optical return loss
> 27 dB
Backward ASE power
-30 dBm maximum
Polarization sensitivity
< 0.5 dB
Automatic gain control (AGC)
The ONS 15216 EDFA2 contains an active gain block with an automatic gain control loop to minimize the effects of output power variations per wavelength upon adding or deleting wavelengths on the same DWDM ring.
Maximum Input Power
The ONS 15216 EDFA2 is designed to operate at a gain setting between 13 and 22 dB. Each gain setting has a maximum input power. The maximum input power is defined as the output power, 17 dBm, minus the gain setting. For example at a gain setting of 22 dB, the maximum input power is -5 dBm. Prolonged operation beyond the maximum input power can shorten the life of the ONS 15216 EDFA2.
Use of optical attenuators is required to bring total input power to less than the maximum input power when operating in constant gain mode.
Upgrading from a Single Channel to the Maximum Number of Channels
You can ensure a smooth upgrade path from a single channel to the maximum numbers of channels with a minimum disruption of service if the per-channel power of the single channel is properly set from the start. The per-channel power should be set so that at full channel loading, the total input power is less than the maximum power indicated in Table 2-3. For example, if the maximum number of channels at full loading is 18 dBm and the gain is set to 22 dBm, the maximum per channel power is -17.6 dBm.
Use Table 2-3 to calculate per-channel power as a function of the maximum total number of channels at full loading. Contact Cisco TAC with any questions or concerns regarding maximum input power or setting the upgrade path.
