1-Port OC-12/STM-4 POS SPA Overview
Cisco Systems qualifies the optics that are approved for use with its SPAs. The 1-Port OC-12/STM-4
POS SPA supports the following types of optical transceiver modules:
• Multimode (MM) SFP module—SFP-OC12-MM
Short reach (SR) SFP module—SFP-OC12-SR
•
Intermediate reach (IR) SFP module (15 km)—SFP-OC12-IR1
•
Long reach (LR) SFP module (40 km)—SFP-OC12-LR1
•
LR SFP module (80 km)—SFP-OC12-LR2
•

The SFP optical transceiver modules used with the POS SPAs provide the following optical fiber options:
• Multimode—622.08-Mbps, OC-12 optical fiber (SONET STS-12 or SDH STM-4)
Use a multimode optical fiber that has a core/cladding diameter of 62.5/125 microns.
• Single-mode—622.08-Mbps, OC-12 optical fiber (SONET STS-12 or SDH STM-4)
Use a single-mode optical fiber that has a modal-field diameter of 8.7 ±0.5 microns. (Nominal
diameter is approximately 10/125 microns.)
For single-mode and multimode optical fiber connections, you can use either a duplex LC-type cable (see
Figure
Use single-mode (for intermediate- or long-reach configurations) or multimode optical fiber cable to
connect your router to a network or to connect two 1-Port OC-12/STM-4 POS SPA-equipped routers
back to back.
Long-range SFP optical transceiver modules (for long-reach configurations) cannot be connected
back-to-back without using an attenuator between the two of them.
