Maximum Number of Fiber CAP M2s Supported in an ERA System
When installing a Fiber CAP M2, you must observe the following rules.
• SMF or MMF connects the Fiber CAP M2 via its Optical Port to the OPT Card.
If the total used signal bandwidth is more than 320MHz a second fiber link is needed. It is connected to Optical
Port 2.
• You connect CAP M2s to an OPT Card installed in Slots L1, L2, L3, or L4 in the TEN or Classic CAN.
– Each OPT Card has four 10 Gbps ports (labeled 1 - 4) for fiber connections.
