Hardware Overview Introduction
POS OC-12c MMF Line Card and POS OC-12c SMF Line Card
The Packet-over-SONET line card supports two OC-12c connections. One model of the POS line card is designed to
work with single-mode fiber (SMF), the other POS line card uses multi-mode fiber (MMF). Each line card uses
SC-type connectors. Figure 2-29 shows the front panel of the POS OC-12c MMF line card.
