Chapter 1—Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the available fiber-optic expansion
options for Option 11C and Option 11C Mini systems.
Option 11C and Option 11C Mini fiber expansion
Both the Option 11C and Option 11C Mini systems support fiber-optic
expansion. To expand your system, you require the following three basic
components in addition to other hardware:
• Small System Controller (SSC) card
• Fiber Expansion daughterboard
• Fiber Receiver card
Note: For a complete list of required hardware, refer to “Chapter
2—Hardware required for fiber expansion” on page 21.
Small System Controller card
You mustinstall an SSC card, containingFiber Expansion daughterboards, in
slot 0 of the Option 11C Main cabinet or the Option 11C Mini Primary Main
Chassis.
Fiber Expansion daughterboards
You must install Fiber Expansion daughterboards on the SSC card. The SSC
(NTDK20CA or later) card supports two daughterboards. The daughterboard
configurations supported are as follows:
• two single-port daughterboards
• two dual-port daughterboards
• one dual-port daughterboard in the top connector and one single-port in
the bottom connector.

553-3021-208 Standard 1.00 April 2000
Each single-port daughterboard supports one Expansion cabinet/chassis.
Each dual-port daughterboard supports up to two Expansion cabinets/chassis.
The Fiber Expansion daughterboards support the following fiber-optic cable
solutions:
• 10-meter solution
• 3-kilometer single-mode glass fiber solution
• 3 -kilometer multi-mode glass fiber solution
Fiber Receiver card
You must install a Fiber Receiver card in slot 0 of each Option 11C
Expansion cabinet or Option 11C Mini Expansion chassis. Match the correct
Fiber Receiver cardwith the FiberExpansion daughterboardsinstalled on the
SSC card in the Option 11C Main cabinet or the Option 11C Mini Primary
Main chassis.
Like the Fiber Expansion daughterboards, the Fiber Receiver cards support
the following fiber-optic cable solutions:
• 10-meter solution
• 3-kilometer single-mode glass fiber solution
• 3 -kilometer multi-mode glass fiber solution
