APS Assembly
For both equipment and fiber protection, the 1+1 card and APS line redundancy con figuration requires
that an APS connector link two optical back cards: an active card and a standby card. Figure1-50 shows
an example of two back cards installed in an APS connector. When the two back cards are linked to an
APS connector, they form an APS assembly. The APS assembly is installed in the rear of the switch. For
more information, see Tabl e 4-4.
