11.1.1 OCHNC Circuits
11.1.1 OCHNC Circuits
OCHNC circuits establish connectivity between two optical nodes on a specified C-band wavelength.
The connection is made through the ports present on the wavelength selective switches, multiplexers,
demultiplexer, and add/drop cards. In an OCHNC circuit, the wavelength from a source OCH port
ingresses to a DWDM system and then egresses from the DWDM system to the destination OCH port.
The source and destination OCH port details are listed in

11.1.2 OCHCC Circuits
OCHCC circuits extend the OCHNC to create an optical connection from the source client port to the
destination client port of the TXP/MXP cards. An OCHCC circuit represents the actual end-to-end client
service passing through the DWDM system.
Each OCHCC circuit is associated to a pair of client or trunk ports on the transponder (TXP), muxponder
(MXP), GE_XP (in layer-1 DWDM mode), 10GE_XP (in layer-1 DWDM mode), or ITU-T line card.
The OCHCCs can manage splitter protection as a single protected circuit. However, for the Y-Cable
protection, two OCHCC circuits and two protection groups are required.
