24-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet Line CardThe 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card provides two stacked 2x6 cage assemblies for SFP+ Ethernet
optical interface modules. The 24 SFP+ modules operate at a rate of 10-Gbps.
With two RSP cards installed in the router, the 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card runs at line rate.
With a single RSP card installed in the router, the 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card is a 220-Gbps
line rate card.
The 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card is available in either an -SE (Service Edge Optimized) or -TR
(Packet Transport Optimized) version.
Each SFP+ cage on the 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card has an adjacent Link LED visible on the
front panel. The Link LED indicates the status of the associated SFP+ port.
Figure 2-29 shows the front panel and connectors of the 24-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card.
