Overview

The CISCO 15454-40-WSS-C is a wavelength selective switch designed for C-band operation, specifically tailored for networks requiring up to 40 channels. This device stands out for its precise operation in odd channels, aligning with the ITU 100 GHz wavelength plan, ensuring compatibility and optimization for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. Key to its functionality, the 15454-40-WSS-C supports plug-in installation, providing ease of integration into existing network infrastructures. This product is equipped with a comprehensive set of card LEDs to indicate various statuses: Failure (FAIL), Active/Standby (ACT/STBY), and Signal Fail (SF). These indicators provide immediate visual feedback on the operational state of the device, facilitating quick diagnostics and maintenance actions.
  • Operating temperature ranges from -5 °C to 55 °C, accommodating a wide array of environmental conditions without compromising performance.
  • Operating and storage humidity levels are maintained between 5% and 95%, ensuring the device's resilience in diverse climatic conditions.
  • The storage temperature mirrors the operating temperature extremes, ranging from -40 °C to 85 °C, highlighting the unit's durability over time.
The 15454-40-WSS-C features an insertion loss ranging from 2.3dB to 7.5dB across different signal paths, with the minimum variable optical attenuator (VOA) dynamic range between 20 dB and 25 dB, depending on the specific path. Its maximum input power capability is 25 dBm, accommodating high-power signal transmissions. The device employs an array wave guide as its filter type, ensuring precise wavelength selection and minimal signal degradation. For signal integrity, the minimum transmit filter bandwidth is maintained at +/-135 pm for the EXP-RX COM-TX and +/-160 pm for the Add COM-TX, supporting tight wavelength control. Crosstalk is effectively managed with adjacent crosstalk at 30 dB and nonadjacent crosstalk at 42 dB, ensuring minimal interference between channels. Polarization dependent loss is kept to a minimum, with a maximum of 3.5 dB noted in specific signal paths, thereby maintaining signal consistency regardless of polarization changes. The optical power setting accuracy is within -0.7/0.7 dB, providing precise control over signal power levels. A high minimum return loss of 40 dB further exemplifies the device's efficiency in minimizing signal back reflection, which could otherwise degrade performance. Power consumption is capped at 63 W, reflecting the device's optimized energy use for its capabilities. In summary, the CISCO 15454-40-WSS-C is engineered to meet the demands of high-capacity, DWDM optical networks. Its hardware specifications, including the operational temperature, humidity ranges, and technical performance metrics, make it a suitable choice for network operators seeking efficient, reliable wavelength selective switching solutions.

Product Review

The CISCO 15454-40-WSS-C, with its 40 channels on the C band and ITU 100 GHz wavelength plan, is designed for intricate optical networking, allowing for efficient odd/even operation and plug-in flexibility. However, its insertion loss values, particularly 7.5dB for EXP-RX to COM-TX and 6.8dB for Add 1-40 to COM-TX, may impact system performance in scenarios demanding ultra-low loss. Its operating temperature range from -5 °C to 55 °C and humidity tolerance make it adaptable to various environmental conditions, though the high card power draw of 63 W necessitates careful thermal management within densely packed systems.
