Mate Interface Cables - Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Hardware Installation Manual

1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR SPA Overview
The 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR SPA uses single-mode SC-type connectors:
•
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.)
Use a single-mode optical fiber cable to connect your router to a network.
The 40-pin connector on the 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR SPA is used for resilient packet ring
Note
(RPR) connections. Support for the RPR feature is dependent on the platform software release feature
content. Verify support for the RPR feature using SPA datasheets or by contacting your Cisco
representative.

Mate Interface Cables

The 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR SPA supports two mate interface configurations:
•
•
Two 1-Port OC-192c/STM-64 POS/RPR SPAs are connected using a 40–pin connector copper mate
cable. The length of the cables allow only two possible connection scenarios, next slot horizontal and
same slot vertical. This assumes that the chassis is mounted vertically.
