Ethernet Line Cards
8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet (8x10GE) 2:1 Oversubscribed Line Card
The 8-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet (8x10GE) 2:1 oversubscribed line card has eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet,
oversubscribed, XFP module ports. Two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports connect to XAUI interfaces on each
of the four NPUs.
The 8x10GE 2:1 oversubscribed line card is available in base, extended, and low-queue versions. All
versions are functionally equivalent, with the extended version of the line card providing typically twice
the service scale of the base line card.
