1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
The 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card provides the supported Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers with
one optical 802.3ae 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. This interface provides a high-speed connection to
other network devices, such as Cisco XR 12000 Series Routers, or to other routers or layer-2 or layer-3
switches that support 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Figure 3 shows the front view of the line card.
The port on the front panel of the line card is port number 0. This port uses a hardwired laser optical
transceiver to provide a 10-Gigabit Ethernet optical interface. The transceiver consists of two optical
interfaces—laser transmit (TX) and laser receive (RX)—that use SC connectors.
Next to the port on the line card are three green LEDs, aligned vertically and labeled from top to bottom
as follows: LINK, ACTIVE, and RX FRAME.

Table 7 summarizes the optics and connectors used by the 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card.
For more information, refer to the “10-Gigabit Ethernet” section on page 49 and the “Cabling and
Specifications” section on page 41.
The 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card ships with 256 MB of route processor memory and 512 MB of
packet memory. The memory in the 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card is not field replaceable. For
more information on memory, see the “Line Card Memory” section on page 64.
