1-Port and 3-Port Clear Channel OC-3 ATM SPA Interface Specifications
The physical layer interface for the 1-Port and 3-Port Clear Channel OC-3 ATM SPA is Optical Carrier-3
(OC-3), and the data link layer is designed to comply with ATM specifications. The 1-Port and 3-Port Clear
Channel OC-3 ATM SPA provides up to one and three 155-Mbps OC-3 network interfaces, respectively, for
all supported platforms.
Each SPA port accepts an SFP module with a duplex LC-type receptacle that allows connection to single-mode
or multimode optical fiber.
1-Port and 3-Port Clear Channel OC-3 ATM SPA Cables and Connectors
The 1-Port and 3-Port Clear Channel OC-3 ATM SPA uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical
transceiver module installed in each port for SONET and SDH single-mode and multimode optical fiber
connection.
Figure 36: SFP Optics Module
The SFP optical transceiver modules used with the 1-Port and 3-Port Clear Channel OC-3 ATM SPA provide
the following optical fiber options:
• Multimode—155-Mbps, OC-3 optical fiber (SONET STS-3c or SDH STM-1)
Use a multimode optical fiber that has a core/cladding diameter of 62.5/125 microns.
• Single-mode—155-Mbps, OC-3 optical fiber (SONET STS-3c or SDH STM-1)
Use a single-mode optical fiber that has a modal-field diameter of 8.7 ± 0.5 microns. (Nominal diameter is
approximately 10/125 microns.)
For single-mode and multimode optical fiber connections, you can use either a duplex LC-type cable or two
simplex LC-type cables, one for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).
