Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband Shared Port Adapter Overview
Each Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband Shared Port Adapter has three 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports (no redundant port).
The first two Gigabit Ethernet ports on the SPA can be used as a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port (one active and one
redundant). The Gigabit Ethernet ports are used to send traffic to one or more external edge QAM devices.

The Cisco uBR10012 router can support up to two Cisco 10000 Series SPA Interface Processor-600 jackets
and eight Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband Shared Port Adapters. In both the three 1G mode and one 10G mode, each
Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband Shared Port Adapter card supports up to 72 RF channels and hence a total of 576 RF
channels are supported with eight Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband Shared Port Adapters.
For annex A and 256 QAM, each Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband Shared Port Adapter in the three 1G mode
Note
support up to 18 RF channels with fully loaded traffic per Gigabit Ethernet port and hence a total of 54
RF channels per Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband Shared Port Adapter card. In the one 10G mode, 54 RF channels
are supported. If the RF channels do not run with fully loaded traffic, 24 RF channels can be configured
per Gigabit Ethernet port in the three 1G mode or 72 RF channels can be configured on the 10G port.
