1-Port and 3-Port Clear Channel OC-3 ATM SPA Overview
Figure 3-3 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
d
iameter is approximately 10/125 microns.)
For single-mode and multimode optical fiber connections, you c
an use either a duplex LC-type cable (see
Figure 3-4) o
r two simplex LC-type cables, one for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).
Use a single-mode (for intermediate-reach or long-reach configurations) or multimode optical fiber
cable to
connect your router to a network or to connect two OC-3-equipped routers back-to-back.
Long-range SFP optical transceiver modules (for long-reach conf
igurations) cannot be connected
back-to-back without using an attenuator between them.
