Description

Cisco SPA-8XOC3-POS 8-Port OC3/STM-1 POS Shared Port Adapter

Overview

The Cisco 4- and 8-Port OC-3 POS SPAs are available on high-end Cisco Systems® routing platforms offering the benefits of network scalability with lower initial costs and ease of upgrades. The Cisco SPA/SIP portfolio continues the Cisco focus on investment protection along with consistent feature support, broad interface availability, and the latest technology. The Cisco SPA/SIP portfolio allows deployment of different interfaces (Packet over SONET/SDH [POS], ATM, Ethernet, and so on) on the same interface processor.
The Cisco 4- and 8-Port OC-3 POS SPAs are available with four or eight Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) interfaces. SFP modules are available in multiple optical reaches from 2 to 80 km.

Specifications

- The Cisco SPA-8XOC3-POS provides eight channelized OC3/STM-1 ports per SPA.
- It supports Packet over SONET/SDH (PoS) for mesh fiber networks and Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) for ring fiber topologies.
- Complying with the IEEE 802.17 RPR standard, it also supports the Spatial Reuse Protocol (SRP) for compatibility with existing Dynamic Packet Transport (DPT)/RPR networks.

Key Features and Benefits:

- Modularity: The SPA is highly modular and flexible, allowing different interfaces (packet over SONET/SDH, ATM, Ethernet, etc.) to be deployed on the same interface processor.
- Service Intelligence: The Cisco I-Flex approach combines shared port adapters (SPAs) and SPA interface processors (SIPs), providing an extensible design that enables service prioritization for voice, video, and data services. It enhances speed-to-service revenue and offers quality of service (QoS) features while reducing overall cost of ownership.
- Applications: The Cisco SPA-8XOC3-POS can be used in various applications, including access and aggregation, WAN uplinks, and internet peering.
