Juniper Networks 1-port OC48/STM16 rate selectable PIC

Juniper Networks 1-port OC48/STM16 rate selectable PIC. Port speed is configurable to OC12 or OC3. Requires OC48, or OC12, or OC3 SFP pluggable optics. See Interface Accessories section. The Juniper Networks Multi-Rate SONET/SDH PICs product family is a suite of SONET/SDH interface modules that supports rich packet processing, multiple IP services, and uncompromising performance while offering market-leading port density and flexibility. These modules provide IP-over-SONET/SDH optical connectivity to backbone and access circuits.SONET/SDH is a widely deployed, mature enabling technology used in providing high-speed, large-scale IP networks. This dependable technology combines high-bandwidth capacity with efficient link utilization, making it a major building block for accommodating a fast growing IP infrastructure both in the core and on the edge.As demand for more bandwidth increases, so does the demand to build out, state-of-the-art IP infrastructures to achieve greater backbone throughput and faster network response times.
