Chapter 1 Overview
OC12 POS Line Card Optical Fiber Specifications
Each OC12 POS line card has one pair of SC-type fiber receptacles to allow connection to single-mode
optical fiber. (For more information on the optical fiber cables you should use with this line card, see
the
“OC12 POS Line Card Optical Fiber Specifications” section on page 1-5 and the “Cables and
Connectors” section on page 1-8 .)
Packet data is transported using Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and is mapped into the STS-12c/STM-4
frame. (RFC-1619)
The management of the OC12 POS line card interface is compliant with RFC 1595.
OC12 POS Line Card Optical Fiber Specifications
The OC12 POS line card specification for optical fiber transmission is single-mode.
Modes can be thought of as bundles of light rays entering the fiber at a particular angle. Single-mode
fiber allows only one mode of light to propagate through the fiber, and multimode fiber allows multiple
modes of light to propagate through the fiber.
Multiple modes of light propagating through the fiber travel different distances depending on the entry
angles, which causes them to arrive at the destination at different times (a phenomenon called modal
dispersion); therefore, single-mode fiber is capable of higher bandwidth and greater cable run distances
than multimode fiber.
Table 1-1 lists nominal OC-12 optical parameters for single-mode optical fiber
transmission.
Note
If the distance between two connected stations is greater than the maximum distances listed, significant
signal loss can result, making transmission unreliable.
Table 1-1 lists the OC-12 optical parameters.
