SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 Optical Interface Specifications
The following SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 standards are supported on M Series, MX Series, and T Series routers. To determine which standards are supported for a transceiver on a particular device and router, see the “Cables and connectors” section for each device.
- Table 1 shows the multimode SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 optical interface specifications.
- Table 2 shows the SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 intermediate reach (IR-1) optical interface specifications.
- Table 3 shows the SONET/SDH OC3/STM1 long reach (LR-1) optical interface specifications.
