Core Product Positioning
The Cisco SPA-OC192POS-XFP is a single-height Shared Port Adapter (SPA) delivering high-speed 9.95 Gbps OC-192c / STM-64c Packet over SONET/SDH connectivity for Cisco modular carrier and enterprise routing platforms. Equipped with an XFP slot for flexible optical transceiver selection, this module supports both standard POS point-to-point transport and IEEE 802.17 Resilient Packet Ring (RPR/SRP) ring topologies. It enables high-capacity core WAN interconnection, carrier backbone aggregation, and metro optical network deployments while preserving investment through hot-swappable optics and cross-platform SPA compatibility.
