1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR XFP SPA Overview
1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR XFP SPA Interface Specifications
The framer processes incoming and outgoing SONET or SDH frames. The framer operates at
OC-192c/STM-64 line rates (9.95 Gbps).
Packet data is transported with a user-configured encapsulation (such as Point-to-Point Protocol [PPP])
and is mapped into the STS-192c/STM-64 frame.
The 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR XFP SPA interface is compliant with the following RFCs:
• RFC 1662, PPP in HDLC-like Framing
• RFC 2615, PPP over SONET/SDH
1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR XFP SPA Optical Transceiver Modules,
Connectors, and Cables
The 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR XFP SPA uses a single-mode, 9.95 Gbps, OC-192c optical fiber
(SONET STS-192c or SDH STM-64) optical transceiver module for SONET and SDH connection to the
network.
The 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR XFP SPA supports the following types of optical transceiver
module:
• Single-mode short-reach (SR) XFP module—XFP-10GLR-OC192SR
• Single-mode intermediate-reach (IR) XFP module—XFP-10GER-OC192IR
• Single-mode very-long reach XFP module—XFP-10GZR-OC192LR
Cisco Systems qualifies the optics that are approved for use with its SPAs. Check the product overview
section of this guide to determine which optical transceiver modules are qualified for use.
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) to connect your router to a network.
