Description
The Cisco 15454-M-RAMAN-CTP is a high-power counter-propagating Raman amplifier designed for the Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP platform. Operating in the C-band, this module delivers distributed optical amplification directly within the transmission fiber, significantly extending DWDM span reach and improving optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR).
Engineered for regional, long-haul, and ultra-long-haul optical networks, the 15454-M-RAMAN-CTP supports up to 96 DWDM channels and provides up to 1W of Raman pump output power. It can be deployed as a standalone counter-propagating Raman amplifier or paired with a co-propagating Raman unit for maximum span extension in demanding network environments.
With advanced optical safety mechanisms, integrated monitoring, and seamless compatibility with Cisco ONS 15454 MSTP shelves, this module is ideal for service providers and enterprises seeking to increase capacity, reduce regeneration points, and support higher per-channel data rates across long fiber spans.
