Calix E7-2 VDSL2-48D r2

Product Datasheet

Description

The Calix E7-2 VDSL2-48 r2 card combines 48 VDSL2/ADSL2+ subscriber ports with integrated 10G/1G Ethernet transport to provide a very compact, high-density DSL solution. Two E7-2 VDSL2-48 r2 line cards can be plugged into a Calix E7-2 shelf to create a compact, very high-density DSL node, with Ethernet aggregation and transport, ideal for copper-based delivery of IP services across the access network. With the E7-2 VDSL2-48 r2 cards ability to support vectoring and 8 pair bonding, it supports a full set of residential and business services.

Key Attributes

High DSL Interface Density: The Calix E7 VDSL2-48D r2 line card is equipped with 48 VDSL2/ADSL2+ Fallback ports, supporting single line and any-to-any pair bonded subscriber connectivity. Two such cards in an E7-2 chassis provide 96 ports in a 1RU chassis for DSL and VoIP access.
Integrated Vectoring Support: The E7 VDSL2-48 r2 line cards support unit-level and system-level vectoring for higher subscriber bandwidth. The E7-2 supports 96 ports of system-level vectoring without an external vector control processor. With the E7 VCP-192 or E7 VCP-384 vector control processor, system-level vectoring can be extended up to 384 ports.
Copper Bonded Services/Transport: The E7-2 VDSL2-48D r2 enables service providers to deliver high-bandwidth symmetric services using copper bonding where fiber is not available. The card can deliver services over up to 8 bonded pairs per subscriber for services or to a next-hop cabinet location for transport.
Industry Standards Compliance: The Calix E7 VDSL2-48D R2 card complies with applicable ADSL/VDSL2 ITU standards including G.992.1 (ADSL/G.dmt), G.992.2 (G.Lite), G.992.3/4 (ADSL2), G.992.5 (ADSL2+), G.993.2 (VDSL2), G.994.1 (G.hs), G.998.2 (VDSL2 Ethernet Pair Bonding), G.998.1 (ATM-based multi-pair bonding), G.998.4 (G.inp), G.993.5 (G.Vector), and ANSI T1.413, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of CPE.
Native IPTV Support: The E7 supports industry-standard IGMP snooping and proxy to identify and replicate multicast video sent between the set-top box and the video distribution network, providing efficient, scalable, high-quality IPTV distribution on DSL subscriber interfaces.
Network Interface Options: Industry-standard pluggable modules are used for all E7 VDSL2-48D r2 Ethernet interfaces, including Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical and copper Gigabit Ethernet, and SFP+ 10GE modules. Ethernet SFP ports support 1 Gigabit or 2.5 Gigabit data rates. SFP+ ports also support GE SFP modules, offering additional 1GE or 10GE transport flexibility.
High Availability Ethernet Transport: The Calix E7 system bridges the gap between traditional DSL service access nodes and Ethernet switches, providing copper pair service drops and Ethernet-based transport and aggregation. The VDSL2-48D r2 card includes two 10GE ports for uplink and transport for the local E7 system, or to subtend additional E7 chassis to extend DSL access capacity. Multiple E7 systems can be linked together at 2.5GE or 10GE stacking ring data rates using low-cost copper cables.
Network Resiliency: All Calix E7 cards support standards-based network topology protocols for aggregation, ring-based transport, and uplink applications, including:
- ITU G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS)
- IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
- IEEE 802.3ad/802.1AX Link Aggregation
With multiple 1GE/2.5GE and 10GE interfaces, the VDSL2-48D r2 card can reside in ERPS transport rings and provide Link Aggregation RSTP-protected uplink to network services.
Delivering “Quality of Experience“: The E7 provides per-subscriber and per-service hierarchical QoS to deliver uncompromised triple play and business services. Classification, policing, queuing, and scheduling algorithms allow operators to manage per-subscriber and per-service traffic flows to maintain priority/delay/loss differentiation within the E7 network.
