Product Description
The 3Com 3C13881A is a specialized interface module designed to provide a single Packet over SONET/SDH (POS) port operating at the OC-3 rate. The OC-3 standard signifies a data transmission rate of 155.52 Mbps, which was a significant speed for wide area network (WAN) connections during its prevalence. The POS technology allows for the direct transmission of IP packets over SONET/SDH infrastructure, offering an efficient method for carrying data traffic over synchronous optical networks. This module is intended for integration into 3Com network devices, such as routers or switches, that support modular interface cards. Its primary function is to enable high-speed, reliable connectivity to WAN links that are based on SONET or SDH protocols. This makes it suitable for enterprise networks requiring dedicated high-bandwidth connections to their service providers or for service providers building out their backbone infrastructure. The single-port design focuses on providing a dedicated, high-performance WAN interface. The 3C13881A module facilitates the aggregation of data traffic and its efficient transport across long distances using established optical networking standards. Its multi-functionality implies it might offer additional capabilities beyond basic POS, though the core specification highlights the OC-3 POS port. This module represents a solution for environments that still leverage SONET/SDH infrastructure for their WAN connectivity, providing a robust interface for data transmission and network extension.
