Cisco OC-3/STM-1 Packet-over-SONET/SDH Line Card for Cisco 12000 Series Routers

The Cisco OC-3/STM-1 Packet-over-SONET/SDH Line Card is a high-capacity, high-performance interface that is ideal for edge feature support and customer access applications. The four-port OC-3/STM-1 card may be ordered with multimode, single mode intermediate reach, and single mode long reach optics enabling customers to connect directly to fiber or traditional SONET/SDH solutions.

1Worst-case scenario considering fiber, connectors, patch panel, and splices.

Note: a typical single-mode optical cable has a transmission loss of 0.4-0.5 dB/km at the 1310 nm region. The splicing loss will be 0.2-0.3 dB each, and splicing will be made at every one to three kilometers (conduit) or two to five kilometers (direct burial).
