To meet the need for increased router features and performance, Cisco Systems® introduces its newest packet-over-SONET (POS) port adapter: the Cisco 1-Port OC-3/ STM-1 POS Port Adapter. The Cisco® 1-Port OC-3/STM-1 POS Port Adapter is ideal for service providers or large enterprises that need to deploy line-rate OC-3/STM-1 connectivity with choice of optics.
The Cisco 1-Port OC-3/STM-1 POS Port Adapter (shown in Figure 1) combines superior performance and an innovative design to provide the following benefits:
● Line-rate performance
● Automatic protection switching (APS) failover between cards
● Modular, pluggable optics; three types are available: Multimode (MM), Single‑Mode Intermediate Reach (IR1), and Single-Mode Long Reach (LR1).
