The Cisco Optical Services Module, part number OSM-8OC3-POS-SI=, is an expansion module designed to provide enhanced optical capability through its 8 ports. This module is specifically intended for use with Cisco networking equipment, particularly for expanding the functionality and flexibility of optical transport in complex networks.
The module supports Packet over SONET/SDH (POS) technology, making it ideal for high-speed data transmission over wide-area networks (WANs). Each of the 8 OC-3 ports offers fast and reliable communication, ensuring a consistent performance across a variety of network infrastructures. OC-3 refers to Optical Carrier level 3, which supports transmission rates of up to 155.52 Mbps per port, ensuring high throughput for demanding applications.
One of the primary features of this module is its capability to support Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) standards, providing support for optical networking over both North American and international standards. This versatile module allows for effective, high-speed communication over long distances, making it an invaluable component in many network environments.
The OSM-8OC3-POS-SI= module also integrates seamlessly with Cisco IOS software, allowing for advanced networking features such as Quality of Service (QoS), traffic shaping, and security enhancements. The module’s robust design and ease of deployment make it a solid choice for those looking to extend their optical network capability in a reliable, scalable manner.
In summary, this Cisco Optical Services Module provides excellent performance across its 8 OC-3 interfaces, supports both POS and SONET/SDH, and delivers flexibility for diverse networking scenarios that require optical transmission.
