3Com 3C13886-DUP 1 x Port OC-3/STM-1 Flexible Interface Module

Description

The 3Com 3C13886-DUP is a specialized interface module designed to bring high-capacity optical connectivity to 3Com networking platforms. It features a single port that conforms to the OC-3/STM-1 standards, which are fundamental for Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) in North America and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) in international markets. These standards define data transmission rates of approximately 155.52 Mbps over optical fiber, making this module suitable for demanding backbone and Wide Area Network (WAN) applications where high bandwidth and reliable connectivity are paramount. This module's flexibility lies in its ability to interface with the optical infrastructure commonly used by telecommunications carriers and large enterprises for their core network links. By integrating the 3C13886-DUP into a compatible 3Com chassis, network administrators can establish high-speed connections to service provider networks, connect geographically dispersed sites, or build robust internal optical backbones. The module is designed to handle the complexities of SONET/SDH framing and signaling, ensuring interoperability with other network elements adhering to these standards. The 3Com 3C13886-DUP plays a critical role in enabling high-performance data transport. Its single-port design focuses on delivering maximum throughput and reliability for a dedicated high-speed link. This makes it an essential component for network architectures that require efficient aggregation of traffic from lower-speed links or for providing direct, high-capacity access to WAN services. The module's robust design and adherence to industry standards ensure its suitability for mission-critical network deployments.
