Calix E7-20 Ethernet Terabit Access System EXA
Quantity:
The Calix E7-20 Ethernet Terabit Access System is designed for high density, high bandwidth fiber deployments. With a 2TB backplane, it is ready for the new technologies and bandwidth needs of tomorrow while cost effectively serving the fiber access needs of today.
The E7-20 enables service providers to deploy as many as 320 GPON ports or 80 10G PON ports from a single system. In addition, the E7-20 enable as many as 480 GE ports as well as 10G aggregations.
Chassis Capacity:
The Calix E7-20 Ethernet Terabit Access System (ETAS) supports up to 100Gbps bandwidth capacity from each of the 20 line card slots to each E7-20 centralized Switch Control Processor (SCP). This capability ensures the system is ready for the bandwidth needs of today’s GE and 2.5G PON services, as well as 10GE and 10G PON services.
Subscriber Capacity:
The E7-20 ETAS has 20 universal line card slots. Utilizing the available E7-20 GPON-8x card the chassis supports up to 5,120 GPON subscribers. The E7-20 becomes the highest density GPON system when the upcoming 16 port GPON card is released.
With the E7-20 GE-24x card the chassis supports 24 Point-to-Point Optical Ethernet (Active Ethernet) subscribers per slot – a capacity that will also increase in the future.
Carrier Grade Chassis:
The E7-20 ETAS is a carrier grade chassis enabling full redundancy for both network and equipment connections. The heart of the E7-20 is the SCP, providing the common control, centralized switching capacity, and network uplink/transport connections for the system.
Integrated Fiber Management:
The E7-20 chassis design supports an optional fiber management system that mounts onto the top heat exhaust air ramp. With a fiber management comb per card, the E7-20 allows operators to easily install and remove additional cards without having to remove fibers from any card in operation. An optional fiber management guard easily snaps onto the front of the chassis to protect the fibers from being caught while service provider personnel move through the central office.
System Power:
The E7-20 has a sectionalized power management system that allows operators to independently cable and fuse the three sections of the chassis as cards and services are installed.
High Value Services:
The E7-20 delivers scalable residential IPTV, high-speed internet (HSI), and voice services over GPON with GPON ONT’s or Ethernet access devices. In addition, the E7-20 supports high value business class services allowing operators to use a common access network to deliver higher revenue generating opportunities.
