OC-3 Access 10
Optical Line Interface 10
NOTE:
The protection ratio of 1+1 is not valid when two adjacent slots of an OC-3
Optical Interface are equipped with both an OC-3 (1.3 STD) LAA10 circuit
pack and an OC-3 (1.3 STD) LAA10B circuit pack. To operate in a 1+1
configuration, both adjacent slots (for example, 2A and 2B) MUST be
equipped with either the LAA10 or the LAA10B, but not a mix of the two.
The OC3 Optical Interface - 1.3 µm Standard Performance [OC3 (1.3 STD)] circuit
pack complies with the OC-3 short reach and intermediate reach optical interface
standards (TR-253). The OC3 (1.3 STD) circuit pack also supports applications
with span lengths up to 51 kilometers.
