Released SONET/SDH Wideband Cross-Connect
FEATURES
GENERAL
• Multi-purpose SONET/SDH VT/TU and SONET/SDH STS/STM cross-connect. • With a memory-switch architecture, implements a strictly non-blocking switch that supports a VT/TU level fabric of up to 25 Gbit/s. • Supports 10 high-speed Enhanced SONET Serial Interface (ESSI) CML links each independently configurable for STS-48/STM-16 at 2.488 Gbit/s or STS-12/STM-4 at 622.08 Mbit/s operation. • Supports system frame synchronization using an external frame pulse or ESSI smart frame synchronization using the frame boundary of the receive links. • Compensates for differences in frame boundary arrival times between ingress ports using FIFOs and device level software configurable delay registers.
