Figure 1. Cisco ONS 15216 Dispersion Compensator Shelf

• The first slot in the shelf is used for east-to-west traffic and the other slot for west-to-east traffic (Figure 3).
• The first slot in the shelf is used for west-to-east traffic and the other slot for east-to-west traffic (Figure 3).
• Both slots can be cascaded together east-to-west (the output of the first module in the first slot is connected to the input of the second module in the second slot). This configuration provides higher chromatic dispersion compensation than an individual module can provide (Figure 4).
• Both slots can be cascaded together from west to east (the output of the first module in the first slot is connected to the input of the second module in the second slot). This configuration provides higher chromatic dispersion compensation than an individual module can provide (Figure 4).
