The Cisco PA-A6, with part number PA-A6-OC3SMI=, is an expansion module designed to provide high-performance networking capabilities. This module supports ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) services, which are crucial for transmitting data with varied speed and delay requirements across a network. The PA-A6 module is purpose-built for Cisco routers and allows for enhanced functionality in terms of scalability and data throughput.
The module features an OC-3 Single Mode Interface (SMI), meaning it is optimised for use with single-mode fibre optic cables, providing long-distance network connectivity. The OC-3 interface operates at 155 Mbps, ensuring fast and reliable data transmission which is critical for businesses requiring high-bandwidth network applications.
Additionally, this expansion module is primarily aimed at deployments where performance, speed, and consistent traffic flow are of utmost importance. Cisco's use of ATM technology ensures low-latency data transfers, making the PA-A6 module an ideal choice for service providers and enterprises that handle heavy traffic loads in WAN (Wide Area Network) infrastructure.
Notably, the PA-A6-OC3SMI= also includes advanced traffic management features like Traffic Shaping and Prioritisation options, ensuring that critical data packets are delivered with minimal delay, making it well-suited for real-time or sensitive data transmissions. This module offers both increased efficiency and adaptability as part of a broader Cisco network architecture.
