Product Description
The 3Com 3C13882A is a Flexible Interface Card (FIC) designed for 3Com routers, providing a single Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) interface operating at the OC-3 rate. ATM is a cell-switching technology that was widely used for high-speed telecommunications networks, particularly for voice, video, and data transmission over WAN links. The OC-3 rate signifies a data transmission speed of 155 Mbps. This card utilizes multi-mode fiber (MMF) for its physical connection, which is suitable for shorter to medium distances, typically within a campus or metropolitan area network. The SC duplex connector ensures a secure and reliable fiber optic connection. The 3C13882A allows 3Com routers to connect to ATM networks, enabling the transport of data using ATM's efficient cell-based switching mechanism. While ATM technology has been largely superseded by IP-based technologies for many applications, OC-3 ATM interfaces were historically important for providing high-speed WAN connectivity and were often used by service providers. This card would have been used in scenarios requiring integration with existing ATM infrastructure or for specific applications that benefited from ATM's quality of service (QoS) capabilities. Its inclusion in a router provides a dedicated interface for ATM network access.
