This document provides an overview of Alcatel-Lucent's 7360 ISAM FX fiber access platform, including its shelf types, board types, and line cards. The 7360 ISAM FX offers various shelf configurations (FX-16, FX-8, FX-4) that can accommodate different mixtures of fiber line cards. It supports both GPON and EPON fiber technologies as well as point-to-point Ethernet services. The document describes the control and line cards available, including high-capacity GPON and 10G PON options. It positions the 7360 ISAM FX as a flexible fiber access platform for residential, business, and mobile backhaul services.
