The Cisco expansion module with part number PA-A6-OC3MM= is designed to enhance the flexibility and performance of supported Cisco routers. This module provides an OC-3 port through an MMF (multi-mode fibre) interface, making it ideal for high-speed data transfer across fibre optic networks. The use of multi-mode fibre spreads light paths across a larger core, typically allowing data to travel over shorter distances, making the module suitable for LAN and other short-distance networking environments rather than long-haul communications.
The module supports 155 Mbps OC-3 data rates, catering to networks needing high-capacity backbone connections. It complies with both ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) and Packet over SONET/SDH (POS) standards, offering versatility in terms of which protocol is most suited for your network environment. This allows you to use standardised methods for packet transmissions within your SONET/SDH infrastructure.
One of the notable aspects of the PA-A6-OC3MM= module is its use of SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots, allowing you to swap in different types of transceiver optics for additional flexibility. The use of SFPs means you can adjust to crafting a greater mix of LAN deployments or other connectivity options as your setup grows or requirements shift.
Considering its functionality, the Cisco PA-A6-OC3MM= is suitable for enterprises or businesses in need of maximising their router capabilities for high-demand data routing and network backbone setups, especially when fibre optic-based connections are needed for efficient, low-latency communication in high-speed environments.
