Equipping rules

The following equipping rules apply to 40G MUX OCI circuit packs:
is a four-port single slot interface

 can be equipped in any slot (1-14 except slots 7 and 8 if cross-connect

circuit packs are provisioned in slots 7 and 8) of the 14-slot packet-optical,
converged optical, converged optical/front electrical, or converged
optical/rear electrical shelves. Slots 7 and 8 of a 14-slot packet-optical
shelf (NTK503SA) cannot be equipped with this circuit pack.
Attention: All 40G-capable slots in a 6500 shelf can be equipped with 40G
groups if the shelf is adequately powered. However, for specific feeder
ratings and combinations of circuit packs, full-fill may not be possible and
some or all of the remaining slots may need to be equipped with filler circuit
packs to avoid exceeding shelf power capacity. Prior to equipping the shelf
with high power circuit packs, you must always consider power budgeting
and power feeds by referring to the "Power specifications" section in Part 3
of 6500 Planning, NTRN10CF (Chapter 8).
can be equipped in slots 1-8, 11-18, 21-28, and 31-38 of the 32-slot
packet-optical shelf
can be equipped in slots 1 to 7 of the 7-slot optical shelf.
both NTK525CAE5 and NTK525CFE5 variants of 40G MUX OCI circuit
pack cannot be equipped in the NTK503MAE5 and NTK503NAE5 variants
of 2-slot shelf.
NTK525CFE5 variant of 40G MUX OCI circuit pack can be equipped in
slots 1 and 2 of the NTK503LA variant of 2-slot shelf.
can be equipped in the same shelf with any other type of circuit pack.
any adjacent two-slot combination of 40G MUX OCI/40G OCLD or 40G
MUX OCI/Wavelength-selective 40G OCLD is possible (for example, 40G
MUX OCI circuit pack on left or right of 40G OCLD or
Wavelength-selective 40G OCLD circuit pack) starting in any slot with the
exception of connections across slots 6 to 7 and 8 to 9 for 14-slot shelf
types. Note that if you are planning full-fill unprotected or regen 40G
applications, connections across the above slots will not occur, as they will
be using the recommended slots 1 to 2, 3 to 4, 5 to 6, 7 to 8 (not applicable
to 14-slot packet-optical shelf (NTK503SA)), 9 to 10, 11 to 12, and 13 to
14 for 14-slot shelf types. However for 40G MUX OCI/40G UOCLD slot
combination, you must see the details in 40G UOCLD circuit packs
(NTK539XAE5 and NTK539XEE5) on page 1-75.

In a 2-slot optical Type 2 shelf assembly (NTK503LA) and when one 40G
OCLD circuit pack is mated with one 40G MUX OCI circuit pack
(NTK525CFE5 variant) (MOTR configuration), the 40G OCLD can be in

slot 1 or 2 and 40G MUX OCI circuit pack can be in other slot.
a 40G MUX OCI circuit pack between two 40G OCLD or
Wavelength-selective 40G OCLD circuit packs provides 1+1 OTN line-side
protection. Signals are exchanged between triplets using the backplane.
For 1+1 protection, the choices are:
slots {1,2,3}, {4,5,6}, {9,10,11}, and {12,13,14} for 14-slot shelf types
slots {1,2,3}, {4,5,6}, {13,14,15}, {16,17,18}, {21,22,23}, {24,25,26},
{33,34,35}, and {36,37,38} for 32-slot shelf type.
slots {1,2,3} and {4,5,6} for 7-slot shelf type.
a 40G MUX OCI circuit pack between two 40G UOCLD circuit packs
provides 1+1 OTN line-side protection. Signals are exchanged between
triplets using the backplane. For 1+1 protection, the choices are
slots {2,3,4,5,6} and {10,11,12,13,14} for 14-slot shelf types
slots {2,3,4,5,6}, {14,15,16,17,18}, {22,23,24,25,26}, and
{34,35,36,37,38} for 32-slot shelf type.
slots {2,3,4,5,6} for 7-slot shelf type.
two 40G MOTR groups (40G MUX OCI/40G OCLD or 40G MUX OCI/
Wavelength-selective 40G OCLD while 40G MUX OCI circuit pack must
be NTK525CFE5 variant) provisioned in consecutive slots can be
configured as 1+1 protection using TPT (without any cross-connect). The
first 40G MOTR group must be in the lower numbered slots (considered
the working path) and the second 40G MOTR group must be in the higher
numbered slots (considered the protection path). The working/protection
path slot is the slot number in which the working/protection 40G MUX OCI
is seated. The 40G MUX OCI circuit packs must always be in the odd slots
and the 40G OCLD or Wavelength-selective 40G OCLD circuit packs in
the adjacent even slots. The working and protection 40G MUX OCI circuit
packs require an XFP on the client interface. The 40G OCLD or
Wavelength-selective 40G OCLD at one end of protection group must talk
to the same 40G OCLD or Wavelength-selective 40G OCLD at the other
end of protection group.
any adjacent two-slot combination of 40G MUX OCI/40G OTN XCIF is
possible as long as 40G OTN XCIF circuit pack is in even slot (for example,
40G MUX OCI circuit pack on left side of 40G OTN XCIF circuit pack). The
exception is slot 8 for 14-slot shelf type, and slot 10 for 32-slot shelf type.
The use of NTK525CAE5 variant of 40G MUX OCI circuit pack is not
supported in combination with 40G OTN XCIF.
the maximum number of back-to-back 40G Mux OCI regenerator sites is
eight.

Attention: The regen limits do not apply to "daisy chain/ loopback" systems
acceptance test set soaks. It is expected that the number of
"daisy chain/ loopback" XFP connections can exceed these limits for idle test

does not use any cross-connect capacity and can be installed in shelves
equipped with or without cross-connect circuit packs
The following restrictions on using a cross-connect circuit pack are applied
when deploying a 40G MUX OCI circuit pack:
In a 14-slot shelf type (except for 14-slot packet-optical shelf type;
NTK503SA), you cannot provision a 40G MUX OCI circuit pack in slot 7 or
8 if one of these slots already contains a cross-connect circuit pack. Slots
7 and 8 of a 14-slot packet-optical shelf (NTK503SA) cannot be equipped
with 40G MUX OCI circuit packs.
In a 14-slot shelf type (except for 14-slot packet-optical shelf type;
NTK503SA), you cannot provision a cross-connect circuit pack in slot 7 or
8 if one of these slots already contains a 40G MUX OCI circuit pack. Slots
7 and 8 of a 14-slot packet-optical shelf (NTK503SA) cannot be equipped
with 40G MUX OCI circuit packs.
In a 14-slot shelf type (except for 14-slot packet-optical shelf type;
NTK503SA), when the 40G MUX OCI circuit packs are installed in slot 7
or 8, only Broadband circuit packs or Photonic circuit packs can be
provisioned in the other interface slots (slots 1 to 6 and 9 to14), as MSPP
interface circuit packs require a cross-connect circuit pack. Slots 7 and 8
of a 14-slot packet-optical shelf (NTK503SA) cannot be equipped with
40G MUX OCI circuit packs. See Part 1 of 6500 Planning, NTRN10CF
(Chapter 3) for a full list of supported Broadband and Photonic circuit
packs.

Note 3: For this circuit pack that must be equipped with XFPs, the power values published in this
table
do not include XFPs power values. You must add 2 W to typical power value and 3 W to power
budget
for each XFP module with reach less than IR-2/S-64.2b. You must add 3 W to typical power value

40G XCIF circuit pack (NTK525FAE5)

Overview

The XC I/F 40G STS-1/HO circuit pack (also referred to as 40G XCIF) allows
STS-n grooming capabilities between 6500 MSPP interfaces and 6500

40G OCLD, Wavelength-selective 40G OCLD, or 40G UOCLD circuit packs by

using the shelf cross-connect circuit pack. It provides the following
capabilities:
40G line integration within 6500 MSPP applications
40G interfacing with the existing cross-connect architecture
leveraging of the existing STS traffic routing and protection capabilities of
the cross-connect for 40G circuit packs
The 40G XCIF circuit pack provides up to 40G of bandwidth shared between
two slots for STSn/STMn traffic as follows:
20G from/to the cross-connect circuit pack to/from the 40G XCIF slot
20G from/to the cross-connect circuit pack via the mate 40G OCLD,
Wavelength-selective 40G OCLD, or 40G UOCLD slot to/from the
40G XCIF slot
Attention: The NTK525CFE5 variant of the 40G MUX OCI circuit pack does
not interwork with the 40G XCIF circuit pack (NTK525FAE5) in a 40G link.
Use the NTK525CAE5 variant of 40G MUX OCI circuit pack to interwork with
the 40G XCIF circuit pack in a 40G link.
