Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility

To check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on your router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. This tool does not verify whether SIPs or SPAs within a system are compatible, but it does provide the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for individual hardware modules or components.


Note Access to this tool is limited to users with Cisco.com login accounts.


To access Software Advisor, click Login at Cisco.com, type "Software Advisor" in the SEARCH box, and click GO. Click the link for the Software Advisor tool.

Choose a product family or enter a specific product number to search for the minimum supported software release needed for your hardware.

Bandwidth Oversubscription

Oversubscribing the bandwidth limit recommendations of a router can result in decreased or degraded performance. For this reason, it is important to determine the amount of bandwidth used by the SPAs on the router and verify that the total bandwidth used by all SPAs does not exceed the recommended bandwidth limit of the router.


Note The SIP-600 [10G SIP], SIP-401 [2.5G SIP], SIP-501 [5G SIP], and SIP-601 [10G SIP] can support up to 20G of installed SPAs, but the bandwidth through the engine and the fabric is no more than 10G (SIP-600 or SIP-601). The bandwidth through the engine and the fabric is no more than 5G for the SIP-501 and is no more than 2.5G for the SIP-401.


Table 2-2 provides information about the bandwidth for each port (per-port bandwidth) on a SPA, as well as the cumulative bandwidth (total bandwidth) for all ports available on the SPA.

2-Port and 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPA Interface Specifications

The framer processes incoming and outgoing T3 (cbit, m13/m23, and unframe) and E3 (g751, g832, and unframe) frames. The framer operates at T3/E3 line rates (44.736 /34.368 Mbps) depending on the mode in which it is configured.

Packet data is transported with a user-configurable encapsulation (such as Point-to-Point Protocol [PPP] or High-Level Data Link Control [HDLC]), and is mapped to T3 and E3 frames. The encapsulations add transport overhead to the packet of data frames before transporting, and are stripped when a packet is transported to the far end.

The T3/E3 SPA interface is compliant with ANSI and Telco standards. The interface also provides support for Management Information Base (MIB) RFC 2496 and T1.231.

2-Port and 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPA Cables and Connectors

The interface connectors on the 2-Port and 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPA are 75-ohm coaxial Siemax types, with one connector and cable for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).

The following cables can be used with the 2-Port and 4-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPA. The cables have BNC connectors on one end and the Siemax connectors on the other. If similar SPAs are connected back-to-back, both ends of cable will be Siemax.

CAB-T3E3-RF-BNC-M (T3 or E3 Cable, 1.0/2.3 RF to BNC-Male, 10 feet)

CAB-T3E3-RF-BNC-F (T3 or E3 Cable, 1.0/2.3 RF to BNC-Female, 10 feet)

CAB-T3E3-RF-OPEN (T3 or E3 Cable, 1.0/2.3 RF to BNC-Open end, 10 feet)


Note The Cisco cable part numbers are 72-4124-01 (with male BNC end) and 72-4131-01 (with female BNC end).

8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA Interface Specifications

The E1 interface on the 8-Port Channelized T1/E1 SPA uses RJ-48c receptacles for E1 (120-Ohm) cables with RJ-45 connectors. You can use all ports simultaneously. Each E1 connection supports interfaces that meet G.703 standards. The RJ-45 connection does not require an external transceiver. The E1 ports are E1 interfaces that use 120-ohm unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables.


Warning Shielded twisted pair (STP) T1/E1 cables must be used to comply with EN55022/CISPR22 Class A emissions requirements. For revisions 73-8358-05 through 73-8358-08 Shielded Twisted pair (STP) T1/E1 cables must be used to comply with FCC Class A emissions requirements.

8-Port FastEthernet SPA Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts

The interface connectors on the 8-Port FastEthernet SPA are eight individual RJ-45 receptacles. You can use all eight interface connectors simultaneously. Each connection supports IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet 10/100BASE-T interfaces compliant with appropriate standards. Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) RJ-45 cables; these cables are available commercially.

Figure 2-6 shows the RJ-45 connector.

Note Referring to the RJ-45 pinout in Table 2-10, proper common-mode line terminations should be used for the unused Category 5 UTP cable pairs 4/5 and 7/8. Common-mode termination reduces the contributions to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and susceptibility to common-mode sources. Wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 are actively terminated in the RJ-45 port circuitry in the 8-Port FastEthernet SPA.


The 8-Port FastEthernet SPA supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover at all speeds of operation allowing the SPA to work with straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables. Depending on your RJ-45 interface cabling requirements, use the pinouts in Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8.

1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SPA XFP Optical Transceiver Modules, Connectors, and Cables

The 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SPA supports the following types of optical transceiver modules:

Single-mode short reach (SR) XFP module—XFP-10GLR

Single-mode intermediate reach (IR) XFP module—XFP-10GER

Cisco Systems qualifies the optics that are approved for use with its SPAs. As of Cisco IOS Release 12.0(31)S the above listed XFPs are the only optical transceiver modules 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.

Figure 2-10 shows the cable type for use with the XFP optical transceiver module on the 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SPA.

Figure 2-10 LC-Type Cable for the XFP Optical Transceiver Modules

The 40-pin connector on the 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SPA is used for resilient packet ring (RPR) connections. This feature is not supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(31)S.

XFP Connections

The XFP-10GLR and XFP-10GER XFPs include an optical transmitter and receiver pair integrated with Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) integrated circuits. The XFPs provide high-speed serial links at the rate of 10.3125 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN-PHY mode) and 9.95328Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet WAN-PHY mode) on single mode fibers. The transmit side recovers and retimes the 10 Gbps serial data and passes it to a laser driver. The laser driver biases and modulates a 1310 nm or 1550 nm laser, enabling data transmission over SMF through an LC connector. The receive side recovers and retimes the 10 Gbps optical data stream from a photo detector trans impedance amplifier and passes it to an output driver.

See the label on the XFP for technology type and model. Figure 2-11 shows an XFP and Table 2-12 shows the XFP specifications.

Cleaning Optics

It is important to inspect and clean fiber-optic components before making a fiber-optic connection (for example, plugging a fiber-optic connector into a fiber-optic receptacle). Any contamination in the fiber connection can cause the optic component or the whole system to fail. Even microscopic dust particles, oil from human hands, film residues (condensed from vapors in the air), and powdery coatings (left after water or other solvents evaporate) can cause a variety of problems for optical connections.


Caution With the high-powered lasers now in use, any contaminant can be burned into the fiber end face if it blocks the core while the laser is turned on. This burning may damage the optical surface enough that it cannot be cleaned.

See the following URL for instructions on how to clean fiber-optic components:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/127/cleanfiber2.html

Always follow the fiber-optic cleaning procedures carefully. The goal is to eliminate any dust or contamination and provide a clean environment for the fiber-optic connection. Inspection, cleaning, and reinspection are critical steps that must be performed before making any fiber-optic connection.

2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA Cables and Connectors

The interface connectors on the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA are two individual fiber-optic receivers that support SFP modules. Each port can send and receive traffic using the optical fiber connections.

SFP Module Connections

The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module is an input/output (I/O) device that plugs into the Gigabit Ethernet ports on the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA, linking the port with a fiber-optic network.


Note The 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA will only accept the SFP modules listed as supported in this document. An SFP module check is run every time an SFP module is inserted into the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA and only SFP modules that pass this check will be usable by the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA.
SFP modules exist for technologies other than Gigabit Ethernet and for products other than the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA. However, the information in this document pertains only to SFP modules that plug into the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA ports.


The SFP module has a receiver port (RX) and a transmitter port (TX) that compose one optical interface. Table 2-18 and Table 2-19 provide SFP module information and specifications.

SFP-GE-S: 3.1 to 3.5 V
SFP-GE-L: 3.1 to 3.5 V

SFP-GE-S Modules

The 1000BASE-SX (short wavelength) module operates on standard multimode fiber-optic link spans of up to 500 m on 50/125um MMF and 300 m on 62.5/125um MMF.

SFP-GE-L Modules

The 1000BASE-LX/LH (long wavelength/long haul) module interfaces fully comply with the
IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX standard. However, their higher optical quality allows them to reach 6.2 miles (10 km) over single-mode fiber (SMF) versus the 3.1 miles (5 km) specified in the standard.

SFP-GE-Z Modules

The 1000BASE-ZX (extended wavelength) module operates on ordinary single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to 49.7 miles (80 km). Link spans of up to 62.1 miles (100 km) are possible using premium single-mode fiber or dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber (premium single-mode fiber has a lower attenuation per unit length than ordinary single-mode fiber; dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber has both lower attenuation and less dispersion).

The 1000BASE-ZX module must be coupled to single-mode fiber-optic cable, which is the type of cable typically used in long-haul telecommunications applications. The 1000BASE-ZX module will not operate correctly when coupled to multimode fiber, and it is not intended to be used in environments where multimode fiber is frequently used (for example, building backbones, or horizontal cabling).

The 1000BASE-ZX module is intended to be used as a Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) component for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces found on various switch and router products. It operates at a signaling rate of 1250 Mbaud, transmitting and receiving 8B/10B encoded data.

When shorter lengths of single-mode fiber are used, it may be necessary to insert an in-line optical attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver.

Insert a 10-dB in-line optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX module at each end of the link whenever the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.5 miles (25 km).

Insert a 5-dB in-line optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX module at each end of the link whenever the fiber-optic cable span is equal to or greater than 15.5 miles (25 km) but less than 31 miles (50 km).

SFP-GE-T Modules

The SFP-GE-T (1000BASE-T copper SFP module) provides full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to high-end workstations and between wiring closets over an existing copper network infrastructure. The SFP-GE-T maximum cabling distance is 328 feet (100 m).

SFP Module Cabling and Connection Equipment

Table 2-20 provides cabling specifications for the SFP modules that can be installed on the 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA. Note that all SFP ports have LC-type connectors.

The minimum cable distance for the SFP-GE-S is 6.5 feet (2 m), and the minimum link distance for the SFP-GE-Z is 6.2 miles (10 km) with an 8-dB attenuator installed at each end of the link. Without attenuators, the minimum link distance for the SFP-GE-Z is 24.9 miles (40 km).

When using the SFP-GE-L with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP module and the MMF cable on both the transmit and the receive ends of the link when link distances are greater than 984 ft (300 m).
We do not recommend using the SFP-GE-L and MMF with no patch cord for very short link distance (tens of meters). The result could be an elevated bit error rate (BER).

3 Dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber-optic cable.



Note The 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules provide an optical power budget of 21.5 dB. You should measure your cable plant with an optical loss test set to verify that the optical loss of the cable plant (including connectors and splices) is less than or equal to 21.5 dB. The optical loss measurement must be performed with a 1550-nm light source.

The 1000BASE-SX (short-wavelength) module operates on standard multimode fiber-optic link spans of up to 500 m on 50/125um multimode fiber (MMF) and 300 m on 62.5/125um MMF.

SFP-GE-L Modules

The 1000BASE-LX/LH (long-wavelength/long-haul) module interfaces fully comply with the
IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX standard. However, their higher optical quality allows them to reach 6.2 miles (10 km) over single-mode fiber (SMF) versus the 3.1 miles (5 km) specified in the standard.

SFP-GE-Z Modules

The 1000BASE-ZX (extended wavelength) module operates on ordinary single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to 49.7 miles (80 km). Link spans of up to 62.1 miles (100 km) are possible using premium single-mode fiber or dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber. (Premium single-mode fiber has a lower attenuation per unit length than ordinary single-mode fiber; dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber has both lower attenuation and less dispersion.)

The 1000BASE-ZX module must be coupled to single-mode fiber-optic cable, which is the type of cable typically used in long-haul telecommunications applications. The 1000BASE-ZX module does not operate correctly when coupled to multimode fiber, and it is not intended to be used in environments in which multimode fiber is frequently used (for example, building backbones or horizontal cabling).

The 1000BASE-ZX module is intended to be used as a Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) component for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces found on various switch and router products. It operates at a signaling rate of 1250 Mbaud, transmitting and receiving 8B/10B encoded data.

When shorter lengths of single-mode fiber are used, it may be necessary to insert an inline optical attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver. Use the following guidelines:

Insert a 10-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX module at each end of the link whenever the fiber-optic cable span is less than 15.5 miles (25 km).

Insert a 5-dB inline optical attenuator between the fiber-optic cable plant and the receiving port on the 1000BASE-ZX module at each end of the link whenever the fiber-optic cable span is equal to or greater than 15.5 miles (25 km) but less than 31 miles (50 km).

SFP Module Cabling and Connection Equipment

Table 2-24 provides cabling specifications for the SFP modules that can be installed on the 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA. Note that all SFP ports have LC-type connectors.

The minimum cable distance for the SFP-GE-S is 6.5 feet (2 m), and the minimum link distance for the SFP-GE-Z is 6.2 miles (10 km) with an 8-dB attenuator installed at each end of the link. Without attenuators, the minimum link distance for the SFP-GE-Z is 24.9 miles (40 km).

We do not recommend using the SFP-GE-L and MMF with no patch cord for very short link distance (tens of meters). The result could be an elevated bit error rate (BER).

3 Dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber-optic cable.



Note The 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules provide an optical power budget of 21.5 dB. You should measure your cable plant with an optical loss test set to verify that the optical loss of the cable plant (including connectors and splices) is less than or equal to 21.5 dB. The optical loss measurement must be performed with a 1550-nm light source.

8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA Cables and Connectors

The interface connectors on the 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA are eight individual fiber-optic receivers that support SFP modules. Each port can send and receive traffic using the optical fiber connections.

SFP Module Connections

The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module is an input/output (I/O) device that plugs into the Gigabit Ethernet ports on the 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA, linking the port with a fiber-optic network.


Note The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA accepts only the SFP modules listed as supported in this document. An SFP module check is run every time an SFP module is inserted into the 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA, and only SFP modules that pass this check can be used by the 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA.
SFP modules exist for technologies other than Gigabit Ethernet and for products other than the 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA. However, the information in this document pertains only to SFP modules that plug into the 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPA ports.


The SFP module has a receiver port (RX) and a transmitter port (TX) that compose one optical interface. Table 2-26 and Table 2-27 provide SFP module information and specifications.

1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA Interface Specifications

The framer processes incoming and outgoing SONET or SDH frames. The framer operates at OC-3c/STM-1 line rates (155.52 Mbps).

Packet data is transported with a user-configured encapsulation (such as Point-to-Point Protocol [PPP]) and is mapped into the STS-3c/STM-1 frame.

The 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA interface is compliant with RFC 1619, PPP over SONET/SDH, and RFC 1662, PPP in HDLC-like Framing. The 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA also provides support for SNMP v1 agent (RFC 1155-1157), and Management Information Base (MIB) II (RFC 1213).

1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA Cables and Connectors

The 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module installed in each port for SONET and SDH single-mode and multimode optical fiber connection (see Figure 2-21).

Figure 2-21 SFP Optics Module

The SFP optical transceiver modules used with the 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA provide the following optical fiber options:

Multimode—155-Mbps, OC-3c/STM-1 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-3c/STM-1 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 diameter is approximately 10/125 microns.)

For single-mode and multimode optical fiber connections, you can use either a duplex LC-type cable (see Figure 2-22) or two simplex LC-type cables, one for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).

Use single-mode (for intermediate- or long-reach configurations) or multimode optical fiber cable to connect your router to a network or to connect two 1-Port Channelized STM-1/OC-3 SPA-equipped routers back to back.

Long-range SFP optical transceiver modules (for long-reach configurations) cannot be connected back-to-back without using an attenuator between the two of them.

Mate Interface Cables

The 2-Port and 4-Port OC-48c/STM-16 POS SPA supports two mate interface configurations:

Mate between two OC-192c SPAs in the same SIP

Mate between two OC-192c SPAs in adjacent SIPs

Two SPAs are connected using a 40-pin connector copper mate cable. The length of the cables allow only two possible connection scenarios, next slot horizontal and same slot vertical. This assumes that the chassis is mounted vertically. Figure 2-35 shows the mate cables used to connect the SPAs.

2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA, 4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA Overview

This section provides the hardware overview for the following SPAs:

2-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA

4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA

8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA

4-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA

8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA

The 2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA and the 4-Port and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA are single-height SPAs that each install into one SIP subslot. The SPAs with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver modules provide Optical Carrier Level (OC-N) for SONET and Synchronous Transport Module (STM-N) for SDH network connectivity. For the OC-3 SPAs, the per-port bandwidth is 155.52 Mbps. For the OC-12 SPAs, any given channel can be configured as either OC-3 or OC-12, so the per-port bandwidth can be either 155.52 Mbps or 622.08 Mbps respectively, depending on the customer configuration.


Note When SFP modules are replaced, the SPA interface retains any previously-defined configurations. This includes settings for IP address, clock source, loopback, CRC, and POS flags.


The 8-port OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA is a full rate SPA; therefore, it can only be installed in subslots 1 or 2 of the SIP. The 4-Port and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA and the 2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPAs are all half rate SPAs.

For more information about SPA bandwidth, see the "Bandwidth Oversubscription" topic in this chapter. For more information about SPAs and their compatibility with SIPs and modular optics, see the "SIP and SPA Product Overview" chapter in this guide.

The following sections describe the 2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA and the 4-Port and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA:

2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA and 4-Port and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA Interface Specifications

The framer processes incoming and outgoing SONET or SDH frames. The framer operates at OC-3 line rates (155.52 Mbps) and OC-12 line rates (622.08 Mbps). Packet data is transported with a user-configured encapsulation (such as Point-to-Point Protocol [PPP]) and is mapped into the layer 2 frame.

The 2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA and the 4-Port and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA interface complies with the following IETF RFCs:

RFC 1662, PPP in HDLC-like Framing

RFC 2427, Frame Relay Encapsulation

RFC 2615, PPP over SONET/SDH

2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA and 4-Port and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA Optical Transceiver Modules and Cables

The 2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA and the 4-Port and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA use an SFP optical transceiver module installed in each port for SONET and SDH single-mode and multimode optical fiber connection (see Figure 2-37).

Cisco Systems qualifies the optics that are approved for use with its SPAs. The 2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA when configured as OC-3 and the 4-Port and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA support the following types of optical transceiver modules:

Multimode (MM) SFP module—SFP-OC3-MM

Short reach (SR) SFP module—SFP-OC3-SR

Intermediate reach (IR) SFP module (15 km)—SFP-OC3-IR1

Long reach (LR) SFP module (40 km)—SFP-OC3-LR1

LR SFP module (80 km)—SFP-OC3-LR2

The 2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA when configured as OC-12 supports the following types of optical transceiver modules:

Multimode (MM) SFP module—SFP-OC12-MM

Short reach (SR) SFP module—SFP-OC12-SR

Intermediate reach (IR) SFP module (15 km)—SFP-OC12-IR1

Long reach (LR) SFP module (40 km)—SFP-OC12-LR1

LR SFP module (80 km)—SFP-OC12-LR2

The SFP optical transceiver modules used with the 2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA configured for OC-3 and the 4-Port and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 POS SPA provide the following optical fiber options:

Multimode—155.52-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—155.52-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 diameter is approximately 10/125 microns.)

The SFP optical transceiver modules used with the 2-Port, 4-Port, and 8-Port OC-3c/STM-1 and OC-12c/STM-4 POS SPA configured for OC-12 provide the following optical fiber options:

Multimode—622.08-Mbps, OC-12 optical fiber (SONET STS-12c or SDH STM-4)

Use a multimode optical fiber that has a core/cladding diameter of 62.5/125 microns.

Single-mode—622.08-Mbps, OC-12 optical fiber (SONET STS-12c or SDH STM-4)

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.)

For single-mode and multimode optical fiber connections, you can use either a duplex LC-type cable (see Figure 2-38) or two simplex LC-type cables, one for transmit (TX) and one for receive (RX).

Use single-mode (for short-, intermediate- or long-reach configurations) or multimode optical fiber cable to connect your router to a network or to connect two OC-3-equipped or OC-12-equipped routers back-to-back. Long-range SFP optical transceiver modules (for long-reach configurations) cannot be connected back-to-back without using an attenuator between the two of them.
