Overview 1-
The Ciena Service Aggregation Switch (SAS) products provide Ethernet
connectivity to buildings and residences to deliver high-speed voice, video,
and data connectivity. SAS devices are designed to lower the overall cost of
deploying a fiber network.
The 5150 is a Service Aggregation Switch that provides both Gigabit Ethernet
and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The 5150 is based on Ciena Corporation’s
field-proven Carrier Ethernet technology which is deployed by dozens of
network operators in tens-of-thousands of homes and businesses. The 5150
combines the low cost and high capacity of Ethernet with the reliability,
management, and service quality associated with SONET and TDM.
Ciena offers two 5150 variants, the original 5150 Sync (5150-900) and the
upgraded 5150 Packet Timing (5150-910). The 5150 Packet Timing provides
an upgraded Stratum 3E OCXO oscillator to provide 1588v2 Precision Time
Protocol (PTP) support.
The 5150 uses the Ciena Service Aware Operating System (SAOS) version
6.x. A full description of the various products in the portfolio, including a full
hardware overview of the 5150, is contained in 39XX/51XX Product
Fundamentals. See Figure 1-1.
