Cisco ASR 9000 Series Line Card Product Overview
16-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet Oversubscribed Line Card with SFP+
The 16-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) oversubscribed line card provides two stacked 2x4 cage
assemblies for SFP+ Ethernet optical interface modules. The 16 SFP+ modules operate at a rate of
10 Gbps
Oversubscription results from port pairs sharing the same NPU. The oversubscribed port pairs are port
0:port 8, port 1:port 9, port 2:port 10, port 3:port 11, port 4:port 12, port 5:port 13, port 6:port 14, and
port 7:port 15. The maximum bandwidth per port pair sharing a single NPU is 14.62 Gbps (7.31 Gbps
per port).

The 16-Port 10GE line card is available in a base version.
Each SFP+ cage on the 16-Port 10GE line card has an adjacent Link LED visible on the front panel. The
Link LED indicates the status of the associated SFP+ port, as described in
Figure 1-7
(Table
A-3).
With two RSP cards installed in the router, the 16-Port 10GE line card can achieve greater than a
2:1 oversubscription rate. Each port pair sharing an NPU can reach 7.31 Gbps per port, so the
maximum bandwidth with two RSPs in the system is 117 Gbps.
With a single RSP card installed in the router, the 16-Port 10GE line card is an 80 Gbps line rate
card with a maximum line rate of 16 ports at 50 percent (2-1 oversubscribed).
