Question 1

What is the MIC-8COC3-4COC12-G module?

Accepted Answer

The MIC-8COC3-4COC12-G is a high-density MultiRate MIC for supported routers, offering eight channelized OC3 ports and four channelized OC12 ports down to DS0 granularity.

Question 2

Which data rates does the MIC-8COC3-4COC12-G support?

Accepted Answer

It supports OC3 (155 Mbps) and OC12 (622 Mbps) channelized interfaces, with per-port DS0 (64 Kbps) channelization for granular voice and data transport.

Question 3

How many ports are available on this MIC module?

Accepted Answer

The module provides eight channelized OC3 ports and four channelized OC12 ports, allowing up to 96 DS0 channels on OC3 and 192 DS0 channels on OC12.

Question 4

Does the MIC-8COC3-4COC12-G require external optics?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It requires user-installed, pluggable SFP optics for each OC3 and OC12 port to match your fiber type and distance requirements.

Question 5

Which SFP optics are compatible with this module?

Accepted Answer

Compatible optics include Cisco-approved OC3 and OC12 SFP transceivers—single-mode or multi-mode—rated for up to 80 km, provided they meet the module’s MSA specifications.

Question 6

What does 'channelized OC3/OC12' mean?

Accepted Answer

Channelized OC3/OC12 splits a SONET aggregate link into individual DS0 channels. You can map voice, data or signaling traffic to individual 64 Kbps timeslots.

Question 7

Can the module handle individual DS0 circuits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The MIC-8COC3-4COC12-G supports channelization down to DS0 (64 Kbps) on every OC3 and OC12 port for fine-grained service delivery.

Question 8

Is the MIC-8COC3-4COC12-G RoHS compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This module is fully compliant with RoHS 6/6 regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances like lead, mercury and cadmium.

Question 9

Which router platforms support the MIC-8COC3-4COC12-G?

Accepted Answer

It is supported on Cisco 12000, 10000 and 7600 Series routers with the appropriate MIC slot and IOS images that include SONET channelization features.

Question 10

How do I install and configure the module?

Accepted Answer

Power down the router, insert the MIC into an available MIC slot, install the matching SFP optics, power up, then configure port channelization in IOS using ‘sonet map-ld’ and ‘ds0-group’ commands.

Question 11

What are common use cases for this MIC?

Accepted Answer

Typical uses include voice trunk aggregation, leased-line replacement, legacy TDM migration and metro access applications where fine-grained DS0 channels are required.

Question 12

How can I monitor port status?

Accepted Answer

Use IOS commands such as ‘show controllers sonet-aggregate’, ‘show interfaces sonet’, and ‘show platform hardware slot port ’ to view alarms, status and error statistics.

Question 13

Does the module support hot-swapping?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The MIC-8COC3-4COC12-G supports hot-swap insertion and removal, provided the router platform and IOS release also support field-replaceable module operations.

Question 14

What is the module’s power consumption?

Accepted Answer

Typical power draw is 15 W under full load. Exact consumption may vary based on SFP selections and channelization configurations.

Question 15

What warranty and support are provided?

Accepted Answer

The module ships with a lifetime limited hardware warranty and access to Cisco TAC for software and interoperability support throughout the product lifecycle.

Question 16

How do I order replacement SFP optics for this MIC?

Accepted Answer

Order Cisco-approved OC3 or OC12 SFP transceivers using the router’s part number guide. Ensure optics are rated for channelized SONET applications.

Question 17

What environmental specifications apply?

Accepted Answer

Operational temperature ranges from 0°C to 40°C, with 10% to 90% non-condensing humidity. Storage temperature ranges from –40°C to 70°C.
