Cisco ONS 15454 SONET Multiservice Provisioning Platform

The Cisco TCC2 and TCC2P cards incorporate a highly stable Stratum 3 internal timing reference to provide system timing based on input received from an external Building Integrated Timing Supply source or from an incoming SONET or SDH optical signal. Synchronous status messaging helps the system to select the best timing sources and a holdover mode maintains timing accuracy in the event that preprovisioned synchronization references are not available.
