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

Replacing the SFP Optics Module

Replacing the SFP Optics Module

The following section describes how to remove and install the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optics modules in the PA-POS-1OC3.

Note The SFP optics modules used with the PA-POS-1OC3 have LC type connectors

The SFP optics modules support online insertion and removal (OIR). However, if the port adapter is already installed in the router and the system is operational, we recommend that you administratively shut down the SFP port before installing a new SFP optics module.

Available Cisco SFP optics modules include the following:

POM-OC3-MM (short range, multimode fiber)

POM-OC3-SMIR (intermediate range, single-mode fiber)

POM-OC3-SMLR (long range, single-mode fiber)

Handling the SFP Optics Module

Before handling the SFP optics module, observe the following guidelines:

SFP optics modules are static-sensitive. To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, follow your normal board- and component-handling procedures.

SFP optics modules are dust-sensitive. When storing an SFP optics module or when a fiber-optics cable is not plugged into the connector, always keep plugs in the SFP optical bores.

The most common source of contaminants in the optical bores is debris picked up on the ferrules of the optical connectors. For information about inspecting and cleaning fiber optic connections, 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.

Note We strongly recommend cleaning any optical-fiber connectors before making new connections to optical-fiber equipment.

Removing the SFP Optics Module

The following procedure describes removing the SFP optics module from a vertically or horizontally oriented port adapter slot.

Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Statement 1040

Caution You can remove and install SFP optics modules with power on to the system; however, we strongly recommend that you do not remove or install an SFP optics module with optical fiber cables attached.

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.
