A5) is expanded to another shelf. Data bus extensions are only
supported by (non-IMUX) TABs-based modules, i.e. TAC 2010 and
DIU modules.
NOTE: The NCM does not support data bus extension.

ACP Data Bus
Structure
The ACE architecture includes expanded data bus bandwidth,
enabling greater switching capacity between ACP modules. While
TABS-based modules have three 1.544 Mbit/s data buses—A, B, and
C—with ACE architecture, the B and C buses are 2.048 Mbit/s, and
the Bus A bandwidth is increased to 16.384 Mbit/s (8 E1 lines). The
total bandwidth available is 20.480 Mbit/s. Timeslot 0 of each ACP
bus A is used for framing. Bus A is divided into two sections,
designated as the low A bus and the high A bus. The low bus data
is sampled on the down stroke of the receive clock, and the high
bus data is sampled on the up stroke of the same clock.
