The Cisco expansion module with part number PA-A3-OC3SML= is a high-performance module designed to extend the capabilities of compatible Cisco hardware. This module supports the OC-3c interface, providing 155 Mbps data transmission over Single Mode Fibre (SMF). It is intended for use in networks that require robust and efficient data transport, such as service provider environments and large enterprise networks requiring scalable traffic handling.
The PA-A3-OC3SML= model is specifically designed to support Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), allowing for more efficient communication across diverse network types. ATM enables this module to manage both small and large data packets efficiently, ensuring optimal bandwidth usage and reduced latency. This makes it ideal for networks prioritising quality of service (QoS) and traffic management, commonly found in environments with high-performance demands like voice, video, and financial transactions.
It operates on Single Mode Fibre (SMF), which is known for its capacity to transmit data over long distances without signal degradation. This feature ensures reliable performance over extended geographical areas, making this module ideal for long-haul connections where high-speed data transmission is critical. This module also uses an SC-type connector, ensuring secure and reliable fibre connections.
The PA-A3-OC3SML= is fully compatible with Cisco’s advanced range of routers and switches, ensuring seamless hardware integration in large-scale and complex networking systems. With its boot-optimised design and latest firmware, this module supports hot-swappable functionality, allowing for interrupted-free upgrades or replacements without affecting operation.
