2-Port 10-Gigabit + 20-Port GE Combination Ethernet Line Card
The 2-Port 10-GE + 20-Port GE combination line card provides two cages for XFP Ethernet optical
interface modules that operate at a rate of 10 Gbps, and 10 double-stacked (20 total) cages for SFP
Ethernet optical modules that operate at a rate of 1 Gbps.
The two XFP modules can be 10-Gigabit Ethernet multimode connections (see
Table
A-6). The 20 SFP
cages support either fiber-optic or copper Gigabit Ethernet transceivers (see
Table
A-2).
The 2-Port 10-GE + 20-Port GE combination line card is available in base, extended, and low-queue
versions. All versions are functionally equivalent, but vary in configuration scale and buffer capacity.
Each XFP and SFP cage on the 2-Port 10-GE + 20-Port GE combination line card has an adjacent Link
LED visible on the front panel. The Link LED indicates the status of the associated XFP or SFP port, as
described in
Table
2-1.

card.
