CISCO 15216-FLA-8-44.5

The Cisco ONS 15216 Metropolitan Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) FlexLayer filter solution is an ultraflexible filter architecture that allows cable multiple system operators and service providers to build "pay-as-you-grow" networks with the flexibility to upgrade in-service without preprovisioning channels that are not required. This approach creates a more desirable per-wavelength cost.

The FlexLayer architecture allows for deployment of point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, ring, bus, and tree-and-branch architectures. These networks can be deployed as unprotected or protected networks, and they may also be deployed in transmit-only applications for broadcast networks. This flexibility is inherent in the design of the FlexLayer architecture.
