SCBE-MX Description

The MX Enhanced Switch Control Board (SCBE-MX) for MX960, MX480, and MX240 routers serves the
carrier Ethernet services router and carrier Ethernet transport markets that require higher-capacity traffic
support, demanding greater interface density (slot and capacity scale), as well as improved services. The
SCBE-MX provides:
160 Gbps/slot bandwidth with redundant fabric support, and improved fabric performance by using the
next-generation fabric (XF) chip
A central clocking module and a centralized clocking architecture that supports clock cleanup and
distribution. The Stratum 3 clock module performs clock monitoring, filtering, and holdover in a centralized
chassis location
Full performance with fabric redundancy for higher capacity line cards such as 16x10GE and MPC3
The Routing Engine installs directly into a slot on the SCBE-MX (see Figure 43 on page 165).
