8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet 80 Gbps Line Rate Card

The 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet 80 Gbps line rate card provides eight cages for XFP Ethernet optical
interface modules that operate at a rate of 10 Gbps. The eight XFP modules can be 10-Gigabit Ethernet
multimode connections (see Table A-6). The 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card is a full 80 Gbps line
rate card.
The 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet 80 Gbps line rate card is available in base, extended, and low-queue
versions. All versions are functionally equivalent, but vary in configuration scale and buffer capacity.
Each XFP cage on the 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet 80 Gbps line rate card has an adjacent Link LED
visible on the front panel. The Link LED indicates the status of the associated XFP port, as described in
Table 2-1.
Figure 1-4 shows the front panel and connectors of the 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet 80 Gbps line rate card.
