The CISCO 15454-40-DMX-C is a sophisticated piece of networking hardware designed for high-capacity optical networks. This demultiplexer module is engineered to seamlessly integrate into existing setups, offering efficient channel management across the Odd or Even Band C with its 40-channel capacity. Its primary function is to enhance the capability and flexibility of optical networking systems by providing reliable channel separation and signal processing. One of the key features of the CISCO 15454-40-DMX-C is its array waveguide filter type, which ensures minimal insertion loss with a specification of 5.8 dB, thereby maintaining signal integrity across the network. This is critical for maintaining high-quality communication links over various distances. The device supports a maximum input power of 25 dBm, which is a testament to its ability to handle high-power signals without degradation. The hardware is also designed with a focus on durability and operational reliability under a wide range of environmental conditions. It operates efficiently within a temperature range of -5 °C to 55 °C and can withstand storage temperatures from -40 °C up to 70 °C. Humidity resilience is also notable, with operational humidity thresholds from 5% to 95%, and similar robustness in storage conditions. This ensures that the module remains reliable even in challenging environmental conditions.

• Channel input/output ports utilize MPO connectors, while composite ports employ LC connectors, facilitating versatile connectivity options for different network configurations.
• Optical performance metrics include a minimum variable optical attenuator (VOA) dynamic range of 25 dB and a maximum polarization dependent loss of 0.6 dB, ensuring efficient and consistent signal transmission.
• The module features several LED indicators for status monitoring, including Failure (FAIL), Active/Standby (ACT/STBY), and Signal Fail (SF), providing instant visual feedback on operational status.

The CISCO 15454-40-DMX-C also boasts a high minimum return loss of 40 dB, which significantly reduces signal reflection and potential transmission errors. This, along with a minimum adjacent crosstalk of 25 dB and non-adjacent crosstalk of 34 dB minimum, underscores the module's capability to maintain signal clarity and integrity even in densely populated network environments. Optical power setting accuracy ranges from -0.7 to 0.7 dB, highlighting the precision with which this device operates. The importance of accurate power settings cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts the quality of the transmitted signal and the overall network performance. With a power draw of 20 W and requiring only one slot for installation, the CISCO 15454-40-DMX-C is an energy-efficient and space-saving solution for expanding network capabilities. Its design and technical specifications make it an ideal choice for network administrators looking to enhance their system's performance, reliability, and scalability.
