4-Port OC-3/STM-1 POS SPA Interface Specifications
The framer processes incoming and outgoing SONET or SDH frames. The framer operates at OC-3c/STM-1
line rates (155.52 Mbps).
Packet data is transported with a user-configured encapsulation (such as Point-to-Point Protocol [PPP]) and
is mapped into the STS-3c/STM-1 frame.
The 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 POS SPA interface complies with the following RFCs:
• RFC 1662, PPP in HDLC-like Framing
• RFC 2427, Multiprotocol Interconnect over Frame Relay
• RFC 2615, PPP over SONET/SDH
4-Port OC-3/STM-1 POS SPA Optical Transceiver Modules and Cables
The 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 POS SPA uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver module
installed in each port for SONET and SDH single-mode and multimode optical fiber connection (see the below
figure).
Cisco Systems qualifies the optics that are approved for use with its SPAs. The 4-Port OC-3/STM-1 POS
SPA supports the following types of optical transceiver modules:
• Multimode (MM) SFP module—SFP-OC3-MM
• Short-reach (SR) SFP module—SFP-OC3-SR
• Intermediate-reach (IR) SFP module (15 km)—SFP-OC3-IR1
• Long-reach (LR) SFP module (40 km)—SFP-OC3-LR1
• Long-reach (LR) SFP module (80 km)—SFP-OC3-LR2
