1. In the Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) GUI, these cards are known as OC192-XFP.
The Cisco OC3 IR/STM1 SH, OC12 IR/STM4 SH, and OC48 IR/STM16 SH interface optics, all
Note
working at 1310 nm, are optimized for the most widely used SMF-28 fiber, available from many
suppliers.
Corning MetroCor fiber is optimized for optical interfaces that transmit at 1550 nm or in the C and L
DWDM windows, and targets interfaces with higher dispersion tolerances than those found in
OC3 IR/STM1 SH, OC12 IR/STM4 SH, and OC48 IR/STM16 SH interface optics. If you are using
Corning MetroCor fiber, OC3 IR/STM1 SH, OC12 IR/STM4 SH, and OC48 IR/STM16 SH interface
optics become dispersion limited before they become attenuation limited. In this case, consider using
OC12 LR/STM4 LH and OC48 LR/STM16 LH cards instead of OC12 IR/STM4 SH and
OC48 IR/STM16 SH cards.
With all fiber types, network planners/engineers should review the relative fiber type and optics
specifications to determine attenuation, dispersion, and other characteristics to ensure appropriate
deployment.

Optical Cards for the ONS 15454 (continued)
Port Description
The 15454_MRC-12 card provides up to twelve OC-3
or OC-12 ports, or up to four OC-48 ports. The card
operates in Slots 1 to 6 and 12 to 17.
The MRC-2.5G-4 card provides up to four
OC-3/STM-1 or OC-12/STM-4 ports, or one
OC-48/STM-16 ports. The card operates in Slots 1 to
6 and 12 to 17.
The OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach and
OC192/STM64 Any Reach cards each provide a single
OC-192/STM-64 interface capable of operating with
SR-1, IR-2, and LR-2 XFP modules (depending on the
1
card) at 1310 nm and 1550 nm. The cards operate in
Slot 5, 6, 12, or 13 with the XC10G and XC-VXC-10G
cards.
