Chapter 3 Removing and Installing the PA-POS-1OC3

Connecting PA-POS-1OC3 Interface Cables

Connecting PA-POS-1OC3 Interface Cables

To continue your PA-POS-1OC3 installation, you must connect the interface cables. The instructions that follow apply to all supported platforms.

Note Optical fiber cables are not available from Cisco Systems; they are available from outside commercial cable vendors. For more information on the cables you should use with this port adapter, see the “Cables and Connectors” section on page 1-7.

Note We strongly recommend cleaning any optical-fiber connectors before making new connections to optical-fiber equipment. For more information, see the Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections document at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk876/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtml, and the Compressed Air Cleaning Issues for Fiber-Optic Connections at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk611/technologies_white_paper09186a00801b08da.shtml

To connect the cables to the PA-POS-1OC3, attach either one duplex optical fiber cable or two simplex optical fiber cables between the PA-POS-1OC3 interface port on your PA-POS-1OC3 and your network. (See Figure 3-3.)

Make sure that the receive (RX) cable goes to the RX LC-type receptacle and transmit (TX) cable goes to the TX LC-type receptacle on the PA-POS-1OC3.

PA-POS-1OC3, PA-POS-2OC3 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been at the forefront of networking technology, providing solutions that empower organizations to enhance their connectivity and communication capabilities. Among its impressive lineup, the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules stand out as significant components designed to optimize performance in service provider and enterprise environments.

The PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules are designed for use with the Cisco 7600 Series routers and are tailored for Packet Over SONET (POS) transport. Supporting the OC-3 speed of 155.52 Mbps, these modules provide reliable high-speed connectivity, enabling organizations to efficiently manage data traffic and ensure rapid data transfer across their networks. The PA-POS-2OC3 offers dual OC-3 capabilities, allowing for higher aggregate bandwidth and redundancy options, making it common in demanding network environments.

One of the main features of the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 is their enhanced support for advanced networking protocols, including MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching). MPLS facilitates efficient data routing and improves bandwidth utilization by enabling multiple types of traffic to be consolidated over a single network. This is crucial for organizations looking to deploy services like VoIP, video conferencing, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.

The modules also offer robust error correction and monitoring capabilities, which are essential for maintaining service quality in mission-critical applications. Administrators can monitor performance and diagnose issues in real-time, enabling swift responses to potential concerns that could disrupt service.

Moreover, the PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 are designed with features that support enterprise-grade security and scalability. This is particularly beneficial for organizations expecting growth or requiring enhanced protection for sensitive data as it traverses the network.

In summary, Cisco's PA-POS-2OC3 and PA-POS-1OC3 modules represent essential building blocks for high-speed networking solutions. Their support for OC-3 connectivity, advanced routing protocols, and robust monitoring capabilities make them ideal for both service providers and enterprises. Through increased scalability, improved bandwidth management, and enhanced security, these modules allow organizations to adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of data communications effectively. With Cisco at the helm, businesses can trust in a networking solution that not only meets current demands but is also primed for future growth.
