15454E-DS3IN-12-RF - Cisco 12-Port DS-3 Interface Module

The twelve-port ONS 15454 SDH DS3iN-12 card provides twelve ITU-T G.703, GR-499, ITU-T G.704 compliant DS-3 ports per card. Each port operates at 44.736 MBits/s (Mbps) over a 75 ohms coaxial cable (with FMEC-E3/DS3). The DS3iN-12 can detect several different errored logic bits within a DS-3 frame. This function lets the ONS 15454 SDH identify a degrading DS-3 facility caused by upstream electronics (DS-3 framer). In addition, DS3 frame format auto detection and J1 path trace are supported. By monitoring additional overhead in the DS-3 frame, subtle network degradations can be detected.
