Cisco Systems SPA-1XOC48POS/RPR

The Cisco 1-, 2-, and 4-Port OC-48c/STM-16c POS/RPR SPAs are available on high-end Cisco routing platforms and offers the benefits of network scalability with lower initial costs and easy upgrades. The SPAs continues the Cisco focus on investment protection along with consistent feature support, broad interface availability, and leading-edge technology. The SPAs allow different interfaces (POS, ATM, etc.) to be deployed on the same carrier card. The Cisco 1-, 2-, and 4-Port OC-48c/STM-16c POS/RPR SPAs use Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) interfaces. SFP modules are available in short-reach (2 km), intermediate-reach (15 km), and long-reach (80 km) optics.

• Unmatched flexibility, allowing a combination of interface types on the same interface processor for consistent services, independent of access technology
• Pioneering programmable interface processors that provide flexibility for the service diversity required in next-generation networks
• Innovative design that provides intelligent delivery of services without compromising on performance
• The scalable, programmable Cisco architecture extended to 2.5 Gbps dramatically improves customer density, increasing potential revenue per platform
• Interface breadth on a modular interface processor allows service providers to more quickly roll out services, ensuring all customers, large and small, receive consistent, secure, and guaranteed services
• High-density SFP interfaces are featured for high-port-count applications with reach flexibility
• Improved slot economics and increased density reduce capital expenditures (CapEx)
• The ability to easily add interfaces as they are needed facilitates a "pay-as-you-grow" business model while still offering a high-density solution
• SPAs are shared across multiple platforms, and can be easily moved from one to another, providing consistent feature support, accelerated product delivery
