PHYSICAL:
Form Factor: Plug‑in adapter module compatible with Cisco I‑Flex / SPA Interface Processors (SIPs)
Slot Type: Single‑height SPA slot in compatible routing chassis
Approximate Weight: ~0.34 kg
Approximate Dimensions: 2.03 cm (H) × 17.15 cm (W) × 18.49 cm (D)
COMPATIBILITY & NOTES:
Compatible with major Cisco routing platforms that support the SPA/I‑Flex architecture (for example: Cisco XR 12000 series, ASR 9000 series, etc.)
When installing, ensure SFP optics suitable for OC‑3c/STM‑1 are used
Ensure the chassis slot has the required backplane/fabric support and sufficient power/ cooling for dense port modules
For high‑availability applications, use of OIR and redundant chassis/fabric modules is recommended
As this module handles carrier‑grade SONET/SDH (POS) traffic, alignment with network service provider framing and synchronization is critical
