Cisco 15310-MA-SA Metro Access Chassis, Backplane, Common BIC 15310MASA

Description:

The Cisco 15310-MA-SA Metro Access Chassis is a carrier-grade optical transport platform designed to support metro access and aggregation networks for telecommunications and service provider infrastructures. It provides the chassis, backplane, and common backplane interface card (BIC) required to host multiple optical and network interface modules for data, voice, and transport services. Commonly installed in telecommunications central offices, metro aggregation sites, and service provider network nodes, this chassis enables scalable deployment of optical networking equipment. Network engineers, telecom operators, and system integrators use this platform for metro network deployment, infrastructure upgrades, and replacement of existing optical transport chassis in carrier network environments.

Applications:

The Cisco 15310-MA-SA chassis is used in telecommunications and service provider environments where metro access networks require reliable optical transport and aggregation capabilities. It supports deployment of multiple optical and network interface modules used for delivering voice, video, and data services across metro fiber networks. Typical installations include telecom central offices, metropolitan access nodes, and carrier infrastructure networks where high-availability optical transport platforms are required for network expansion and service delivery.
