Designed for high-capacity networking, the 6500-S32 Packet-Optical Platform converges comprehensive Ethernet, TDM, and WDM capabilities with unconstrained hybrid packet/OTN switching and an intelligent control plane to maximize the bandwidth efficiency and flexibility of the overall network.
The 6500-S32 is a 22RU chassis tailored for high-density applications in the network core, supporting a wide variety of services including the full mix of Ethernet, OTN, SDH/ SONET, Fibre Channel, video, and transparent DWDM services. To offer flexible deployment options, the 6500-S32 is equipped with 32 service card-carrying slots that can be customized to support 2.5G to 100G switched or DWDM applications. Various line and equipment protection options are available, including common equipment redundancy, enabling a range of differentiated service offerings for increased network availability.
The 6500-S32 supports the complete suite of photonic architectures including directionless, colorless, contentionless, and flexible grid Reconfigurable Add-Drop Multiplexers (ROADMs) for the power to send any service anywhere in the network, dynamically. A full range of Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) cards and filters provide optimized performance and cost for varying degree branching sites.
