Cabling and Specifications
4-port OC-12c/STM-4c ISE ATM Line Card Power Specifications
The 4-port OC-12c/STM-4c ISE ATM line card provides the Cisco 12000 Series Router with four
622-Mbps ATM interfaces. Table 8 lists the power ratings and distances of these interfaces. The actual
distance in any given case depends on the quality of the fiber attached to the transceiver.
4-port OC-3c/STM-1 ISE ATM Line Card Power Specifications
The 4-port OC-3c/STM-1 ISE ATM line card provides the Cisco 12000 Series Router with four
155-Mbps ATM interfaces. Table 9 lists the power ratings and distances of these interfaces. The actual
distance in any given case depends on the quality of the fiber attached to the transceiver.
Fiber-Optic Network Interface Cables
The ATM line cards have SC-type fiber-optic interface connectors. Use a multimode or single-mode
fiber-optic interface cable, as appropriate, to connect the fiber-optic interfaces in the ATM line card in
your Cisco 12000 series router to another router or switch. In general, multimode cables are gray or
orange, and single-mode cables are yellow.
Note Single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cables are available from cable vendors. These cables are not
available from Cisco Systems. The plug on the cable may be supplied with a dust cover. If it is, remove
it before trying to connect it to the line card port.
You can use either one duplex SC-type connector (Figure 15) or two simplex SC-type connectors
(Figure 16).
