Peripheral cabinet modules 125Note: The SPM is supported by both the SuperNode and SuperNodeSE.The SPM directly terminates an OC-3 SONET carrier and feeds theindividual traffic from the carrier into the Meridian SL-100 switch. TheSPM does not need external cross connects or multiplexers to bring thecarrier down to the T1 level, because this is handled internally. The SPMterminates a single OC-3 fiber trunk which represents more than fourtimes as many trunks as a single DTC. Refer to Figure 57 "SPM within theMeridian SL-100 switch" (page 125).Figure 57SPM within the Meridian SL-100 switchCabinetized International Peripheral EquipmentThe CIPE is used primarily in the European market to support the E1standard.
