HAPTER 1: HARDWARE OVERVIEW
Packet Over SONET (POS) SpectraFlow Modules
The system supports transmission of IP data directly over Synchronous
Optical Network (SONET) to more efficiently utilize bandwidth and leverage
the management, fault-tolerance, and high transmission speeds inherent in
SONET networks.
The system supports connection to SONET networks using these modules:
POS modules connect to the network using the provided fiber-optic cable.
This fiber optic cable consists of a duplex SC connector on one end and an
AMP MPX connector on the other end. The module is connected to the
network by installing a fiber module backplate on the selected slot, then
inserting the AMP MPX connector into the blind-mate fiber port located on
the backplate. Cabling to the backplate and not to the module itself allows
you to remove and replace the module without re-cabling. It also allows you
to cable slots in advance.
Both OC-3 and OC-12 POS modules are available in a number of
configurations. Table 1-6 shows the available configurations and associated
parameters of OC-3 modules.

POS Module Description
POS OC-3 Provides a 155 Mbps connection to SONET STS-3c or SDH
STM-1 networks.
POS OC-12 Provides a 622 Mbps connection to SONET STS-12c or
SDH STM-4 networks.
