Chapter 3 Catalyst 6500 Series Switch SPA Overview
1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR SPA Overview
The 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR SPA uses single-mode SC-type connectors:
• Single-mode—9.95 Gbps, OC-192 optical fiber (SONET STS-192c or SDH STM-64c)
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.)
Use a single-mode optical fiber cable to connect your router to a network.
Note The 40-pin connector on the 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR SPA is used for resilient packet ring
(RPR) connections. Support for the RPR feature is dependent on the platform software release feature
content. Verify support for the RPR feature using SPA datasheets or by contacting your Cisco
representative.
Figure 3-23 shows the cable type for use with the fixed optical transceiver module on the 1-Port
OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR SPA.

Mate Interface Cables
The 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR SPA supports two mate interface configurations:
• Mate between two OC-192c SPAs in the same SIP
• Mate between two OC-192c SPAs in adjacent SIPs
Two 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR SPAs are connected using a 40–pin connector copper mate
cable. The length of the cables allow only two possible connection scenarios, next slot horizontal and
same slot vertical. This assumes that the chassis is mounted vertically.
Figure 3-24 shows the mate cables
used to connect the SPAs.
