3Com 3C13888-DUP 1 x Port DS-3/E3 FIC Interface Module

Description

The 3Com 3C13888-DUP is a Flexible Interface Card (FIC) module designed to provide a single port for connecting to DS-3 or E3 digital transmission lines. DS-3 is a standard digital carrier signal in North America and Japan, offering a data rate of approximately 45 Mbps, while E3 is the equivalent standard used in Europe and other parts of the world, operating at approximately 34 Mbps. These high-capacity lines are typically used for Wide Area Network (WAN) connections, providing significant bandwidth for data transmission between locations. This interface module allows 3Com routers or other compatible network devices to terminate DS-3 or E3 circuits, enabling them to connect to the carrier's network or directly to another DS-3/E3 equipped device. It is crucial for enterprises requiring high-speed data links for applications such as high-volume internet access, large data transfers, or connecting multiple sites with substantial bandwidth requirements. The 'DUP' in the model name might indicate a duplex capability or a specific revision, but the core function is to provide a physical and logical interface for these high-speed digital circuits. By integrating the 3C13888-DUP, organizations can establish robust and high-performance WAN connections, ensuring efficient data flow and reliable connectivity for their critical business operations across geographically dispersed locations.
