Cisco SPA-1X10GE-L-ITUC

The Cisco 1-Port 10GE Tunable WDM-PHY SPA provides a tunable optical interface that can be used to connect directly to dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) transport systems, eliminating the need for an optical transponder. The Tunable WDM-PHY SPA provides full 80-channel tunability with 50-GHz spacing across the C band and meets ITU specifications. It supports G.709 framing for robust connectivity and SONET-like operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) as well as generic forward error correction (GFEC) for regional applications. For long-haul application support, the high-gain enhanced forward error correction (EFEC) functionality is provided, which can extend optical reach up to 2000 km without optical-electrical regeneration. The 10GE Tunable WDM-PHY SPA is part of the Cisco IP-over-DWDM solution portfolio. Service providers benefit from IP-over-DWDM integration through faster service provisioning, increased reliability, and simplified network management. Integrated DWDM transponders simplify the network by reducing the number of network elements and also scale at a lower total cost to reduce bandwidth cost. Finally, IP-over-DWDM solutions allow service providers to more cost-effectively use the rich QoS and IP intelligence of Cisco routers in their transport networks.
