2.8.1 ASAP Connectors
The ASAP card provides up to 16 Telcordia GR-253-CORE compliant, SONET OC-3, OC-12, OC-48,
or Gigabit Ethernet ports per card in any combination of line rates. The ports operate at up to 2488.320
Mbps over a single-mode fiber. The ASAP card has 16 physical connector adapters (known as Small
Form-factor Pluggables [SFPs]) with two fibers per connector adapter (transmit [Tx] and receive [Rx]).
The card supports STS-1 payloads and concatenated payloads at STS-3c, STS-6c, STS-9c, STS-12c,
STS-24c, or STS-48c signal levels. The ASAP card is interoperable with ONS 15454 E-Series, G-Series,
and ML-Series Ethernet cards.

2.8.1 ASAP Connectors
An ASAP carrier card supports up to four 4PIO/PIMs, and each 4PIO/PIM supports up to four SFPs. The
maximum configuration for an ASAP card is 16 SFP ports. The ports can each be provisioned as either
OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, or Gigabit Ethernet.
In addition, the ports can be provisioned with OC-48 dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)
SFPs. 32 SFPs, each with separate product IDs (PIDs), allow operation on 32 channels, separated by
100 GHz on the ITU grid. The modules offer operation in the red band from 1546.12 to 1560.61 nm and
in the blue band from 1530.33 to 1544.53 nm. These SFPs can be used in Metro, Regional, or Long Haul
applications. Eight ASAP cards can be installed in a shelf, and up to four ITU-T SFPs can be plugged
into each of the four 4PIO/PIMs, providing a maxium of 128 ITU-T SFPs in a single shelf.
For detailed information about SFPs, see the
the line rates supported by each SFP, see the
2.8.2 ASAP Covers and Plugs
The covers and plugs that are shipped with the ASAP carrier card, 4PIO/PIMs, and SFPs must be used
in configurations where less than four 4PIO/PIMs or 16 SFPs are installed
