Specifications

Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms
do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration.
Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's
SNCP feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not recommend
using its SNCP feature in any particular topological network configuration.

This appendix contains shelf, card, and Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) specifications for the Cisco

A.3 SFP Specifications

Table A-2 lists specifications for available SFPs that can be used with the 15310E-CTX-K9 card.
Table A-3 lists specifications for available SFPs that can be used only with the CE-MR-6 card (ONS
15310-MA only).
The 15310-CL-CTX card does not have a faceplate because it is located inside the chassis; therefore, the
two SFP slots are located on the ONS 15310-CL faceplate, just to the left of the LAN port. The two SFP
slots on the 15310E-CTX-K9 are located on 15310E-CTX-K9 faceplate.
