Fast Ethernet Line Card (Flc2) - Cisco ASR 5000 Series Installation Manual

ASR 5000 Hardware Platform Overview

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:
the FLC2.
 100Base-Tx —full or half duplex Ethernet on CAT 5 shielded twisted pair (STP) or unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cable
 10Base-T —full or half duplex Ethernet on CAT 3, 4, or 5 STP or UTP cable
Important:
from ESD or other transient voltage damage.
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).
The following shows the panel of the FLC2 with its interfaces and major components.
