Description

Overview
The Cisco 15216-DCU-450 is a high performance dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) module designed to provide precise chromatic dispersion correction of -450 ps/nm. Engineered for use in advanced optical transport networks, this DCF helps maintain signal integrity over long haul fiber links, ensuring low bit error rates and optimal system performance. Its compact form factor and robust construction make it suitable for deployment in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and coherent optical systems.

Key Features

Negative dispersion of -450 ps/nm for effective compensation of standard single mode fiber
Low insertion loss and high return loss for minimal signal degradation
Compatible with Cisco optical platform accessories and third party equipment
Temperature range from -40 deg to +85 deg for reliable operation in diverse environments
Plug and play design reduces installation time and simplifies network upgrades

Technical Specifications

Model/Part Number: 15216-DCU-450
Dispersion: -450 ps/nm
Operating Wavelength Range: 1525 nm to 1565 nm
Insertion Loss: typically less than 0.5 dB
Return Loss: better than 55 dB
Fiber Type: Single mode dispersion compensating fiber
Connector Type: Standard LC duplex
Dimensions: 1U rack mountable, 19 inch width
Power Consumption: None (passive component)

Applications
The DCF of -450 ps/nm is ideal for a variety of high capacity optical networking scenarios, including:

Long haul DWDM links where accumulated dispersion exceeds the compensation capability of standard fibers
Metro and regional networks that require precise dispersion management to support high order modulation formats
Coherent transmission systems using QPSK, 16QAM or higher order constellations
Network upgrades and retrofits where additional dispersion compensation is needed without redesigning the entire link
Carrier and enterprise backbones that demand high reliability and low latency performance

By integrating the Cisco 15216-DCU-450 into your optical infrastructure, you gain a reliable solution that enhances signal quality, extends reach, and supports the growing bandwidth demands of modern data services.
