Quidway® NetEngine 80E Core Router
OC-48c/STM-16c POS Optical Interface Boards
Overview
The Quidway® NetEngine 80E core router (“NE80E” hereinafter) provides OC-48c/STM-16c POS
optical interface boards of different port densities to connect with the SDH transmission equipment
or other equipment. The boards may be plugged in any service slots of the NE80E and provide
2.5G transmission channels. Currently, they are widely applied in carriers’ MANs and backbone
networks.
CR52-2xPOS/STM16-SFP
CR52-4xPOS/STM16-SFP
The OC-48c/STM-16c POS optical interface boards implement POS frame encapsulation/
decapsulation of data flows and SDH/SONET mapping/dema pping of POS frames, provide external
optical interfaces at a rate of 2.5 Gbps, and provide such functions as loopback, environment
monitoring and information query.

They support hot plugging. The user may add or remove them as needed while the equipment is
powered on without affecting the services of the other interface boards. In addition, hot pluggable
SFP optical modules are adopted for plug and play. The rate can reach 2.5 Gbps. Optical modules
supporting different transmission distances may be selected depending on the networking
requirements.
