The EBC-3 and ELU-3 cards link via a fiber-optic connection. The expansion bank fibers (EBFs) transport the TDM and ATM data on separate multimode plastic fiber pairs that terminate directly to the EBC-3 and ELU-3 cards. The EBF fiber connection carrying ATM traffic between the ELU-3 and the EBC-3 operates at 155 Mbps to ensure full, non-blocking access to the transmission facility regardless of the plug-in card types used in the expansion shelf.
