Fiber Optic Interface Cabling Specifications
Introduction
The Traverse shelf provides MPX optical fiber connectors to support high-capacity,
high-density, and easy-operation fiber connection for optical interface cards: Ethernet
and SONET/SDH. Each slot has receptacles for up to two MPX ribbon fiber connectors
to support single mode and multi-mode fiber optic cable. Each Traverse backplane
MPX connector housing supports from 1 to 12 fiber pairs, for a maximum fiber count
of 48 per slot. There is a white stripe reference mark along one edge of the backplane
housing and card MPX connector. The white stripe orients the number one fiber
position.
The Traverse shelf also provides a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connector
module (SCM) to support high-density and easy-operation fiber connection for the
10-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE-10) card.
