Technical Overview
-
Function: Multi‑rate optical interface circuit pack capable of handling a mix of OC‑3, OC‑12, and OC‑48 rates on individual ports.
-
Signal Handling: Up to 12 ports — each configurable for OC‑3, OC‑12, or OC‑48 signals with certain restrictions (e.g., OC‑48 ports occupy spaced positions to avoid adjacent conflicts).
-
Optical Standards: SONET / SDH compatible multi‑rate interfaces.
-
Integration: Used in systems equipped with VLF main circuit packs; slot equipage depends on chassis configuration.
