PRODUCT MIGRATION OPTIONS

The recommended replacement for the Cisco 4-Port OC-3 POS Line Card for the Cisco 7304 with single-mode IR is the Cisco 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 POS SPA (Table 3). This SPA is available on high-end Cisco Systems routing platforms offering the benefits of network scalability with lower initial costs and ease of upgrades, and it is available with four Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) interfaces. SFP modules are available in multiple optical reaches from 2 to 80 km. A single line-card slot on the Cisco 7304 can support two Cisco 4-port OC-3 POS SPAs, thus increasing the interface density.
