Fast Ethernet Line Card (FLC2)
The FLC2 installs directly behind its respective packet processing card, providing network connectivity to
the RAN interface and the packet data network. Each FLC2 (Ethernet 10/100) has eight RJ-45 interfaces.
Each of these IEEE 802.3-compliant interfaces supports auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet. Allowable
cabling includes:
Important
• 100Base-Tx —full or half duplex Ethernet on CAT 5 shielded twisted pair (STP) or unshielded twisted
• 10Base-T —full or half duplex Ethernet on CAT 3, 4, or 5 STP or UTP cable
Important
The FLC2 supports the Star Channel (1 Gbps) for faster FPGA upgrades and is Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) 6/6 compliant.
The FLC2 can be installed in chassis slots 17 through 23, 26 through 39, and 42 through 48. These cards are
always installed directly behind their respective packet processing cards, but are not required to be placed
behind any redundant packet processing cards (those operating in Standby mode).

Description
Card Ejector Levers—Use to insert/remove a card to and from the chassis.
Interlock Switch—In its Down position the interlock switch notifies the system to safely power
down the card prior to its removal.
Card Level Status LEDs—Show the status of the card.
The FELC has reached its end of life and is no longer available for purchase. It has been replaced by the
FLC2.
pair (UTP) cable
Use shielded cabling whenever possible to further protect the chassis and its installed components from
ESD or other transient voltage damage.
