Cisco ASR 9000 Series Line Card Product Overview
100-Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards
2-Port 100-Gigabit Ethernet Line Card with CFP
The 2-Port 100-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) line card provides two CFP cages for CFP Ethernet optical
interface modules that operate at a rate of 100 Gbps. The two CFP modules can be 100GE multimode
connections.
The line card is available in either an -SE (Service Edge Optimized) or -TR (Packet Transport
Optimized) version. All versions are functionally equivalent, but vary in configuration scale and buffer
capacity.
Each CFP cage on the 2-Port 100 GE line card has an adjacent Link LED visible on the front panel. The
Link LED indicates the status of the associated CFP port, as described in
Status LEDs, page
3-2.
Figure 1-12
shows the line card front panel and LEDs.

line card.
