The PA-A3-OC3SMI= is a Cisco network adapter designed for advanced connectivity requirements. It supports OC-3 (Optical Carrier level 3) interfaces and is utilised to connect Cisco routers to high-bandwidth SONET networks. This part belongs to the Cisco A3 Port Adapter family and is highly suitable for environments that require robust and reliable optical communication.
One of its key features is the use of a Single Mode Optical Interface (SMI), which supports long-distance data transmission via optical fibre. The OC-3 interface facilitates a data rate of up to 155.52 Mbps, making it an excellent choice for large-scale network applications requiring swift data transfer capabilities.
This adapter typically connects to an external optical network using SC-type fibre connectors, which are well-known for their secure and reliable connections in networking environments. It is compatible with Cisco routers that support modular port adapters, allowing for flexible connectivity and future-proofing of network infrastructure.
The PA-A3-OC3SMI= adapter ensures high levels of network performance and reliability, with support for diverse applications such as ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), allowing the management of multiple virtual circuits. This makes it ideal for organisations requiring high-performance networking in a scalable setup.
Given its robust design and high-speed transmission capabilities, the Cisco PA-A3-OC3SMI= is often deployed in telecommunications and enterprise environments where consistent, high-bandwidth network performance is critical. It offers strong hardware-level reliability with support for Cisco’s sophisticated monitoring and diagnostic tools to keep network operations running efficiently.
