Cisco 15454-LIC-CH-10= 10-Channel Capacity License | Optical Networking — 15454-LIC-CH-10=

Add capacity where it matters most. Cisco 15454-LIC-CH-10= enables 10-channel add/drop or express functionality for Cisco ONS 15454 deployments, giving network teams a controlled path to increase optical service capacity without a chassis refresh. That matters when you need to extend service life, preserve capital budgets, and keep change windows tight. This license is designed for environments that already run Cisco optical transport infrastructure and need additional channel capability for growth, service turn-up, or network reconfiguration. By licensing capacity rather than replacing hardware, you keep the installed base in service and avoid the disruption that comes with a platform swap. For infrastructure teams, the value is operational precision. Capacity can be added to match demand, support evolving traffic patterns, and maintain consistency across the optical layer. For procurement, it is a targeted purchase that extends the utility of an existing Cisco platform and aligns spend with actual expansion requirements. Ideal For Adding optical channels to an existing Cisco ONS 15454 deployment Extending service capacity during network growth projects Supporting add/drop or express requirements in metro optical transport Preserving chassis investment while increasing available channel count Why This Product 1 Adds capacity without replacing the optical chassis 2 Targets Cisco ONS 15454 environments specifically 3 Supports 10-channel add/drop or express operation 4 License-based expansion reduces infrastructure disruption
