The transponder line cards are hot swappable, permitting in-service upgrades and
replacement. All client signals on the transponders are supported in 3R (reshape,
retime, retransmit) mode, regardless of protocol encapsulation type. The client
interfaces also support the OFC (open fiber control) safety protocol for Fibre
Channel, ISC compatibility mode, and FICON. The client side ports use SC-type
connectors.
On the trunk side, the transponder line card output laser power ranges from
5 to 10 dBm and the receive detector has a sensitivity of –32 dBm. The ports on
the trunk side use MU-type connectors.
