NSE-8G™ Standard Product Data Sheet
Preliminary
Figure 3 illustrates the organization of the access line size card(s) from a SONET Any Service
Any Port (ASAP) product. All traffic from the NSE-8G to the SBI link layer devices is path-
aligned. See Figure 4 for a description of the PHY line cards compatible with the system in
Figure 3.

Figure 4 shows the organization of a SONET PHY card compatible with Figure 3. As shown, both
Figure 3 and Figure 4 have NSE-8Gs, but only one instance of this device is required to connect
all the SBSs. A likely packaging of this combined system would place the NSE-8G (and a standby
NSE-8G) on separate fabric cards. In Figure 4, PM8315 TEMUXs align paths to transport frames.
Note: Figure 3 assumes this alignment.
