The IPLC base module and expansion module are slide-in cards that each occupy a single
slot within the PTX3000 chassis. Unlike line cards, the IPLC does not connect into the
high-speed data backplane of the chassis, but rather provides the following optical
functions that you connect through the front panel:

To minimize slot requirements and maximize shelf capacity, each IPLC module requires
only a single FPC or PIC slot. These slot requirements are especially important if you are
configuring a two-degree node or increasing the channel capacity to 64 channels.
