Cabling the Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards


Cabling the Gigabit Ethernet Line Cards
 
This chapter provides cabling instructions and information for the interfaces on the Ethernet 1000 line card, four-port Quad Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (QGLC), and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (XGLC).
The cards support 802.3z-compliant Gigabit Ethernet interface(s) which connect the chassis to other elements in the packet data network.
Ethernet 1000 Line Card
The following figure shows the single-port Ethernet 1000 line card, otherwise known as the Gigabit Ethernet line card or GELC. This card supports a single fiber or copper Small Form-factor Plugin (SFP) module, which is described below:
 
 
Ethernet 1000 Line Card Front Panel
Important: The following SFP modules are hot-pluggable.
SFP Modules Supported by the Ethernet 1000 Line Card
Fiber Type: Multi-mode fiber (MMF), 850 nm wavelength
Important: Please read all of the notices and warnings f for Class 1 Laser devices following this table before handling this component.
Fiber Type: Single-mode fiber (SMF), 1310 nm wavelength
Core Size (microns)/Range: 9/32808.4 feet (10 Kilometers)
Important: Please read all of the notices and warnings f for Class 1 Laser devices following this table before handling this component.
NOTE: Use shielded cabling whenever possible to further protect the chassis and its installed components from ESD or other transient voltage damage.
Important: Class 1 Laser Compliance Notice Because of the optical SFP interface, this product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class 1 laser devices for IEC825, EN60825, and 21CFR1040 specifications.
Quad Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
The following shows the four-port Quad Gigabit Ethernet line card. This is referred to interchangeably as the Quad-GigE line card or the QGLC.
 
Important: If you enter the show linecard table CLI command, the QGLC is listed as a Quad 1000 Ethernet Line Card.
 
QGLC Front Panel
Important: The QGLC supports four fiber or copper SFP modules as described below. The modules are hot-pluggable; however, they must all be the same type. You cannot mix-and-match SFP modules in one QGLC.
SFP Modules Supported by the QGLC
Fiber Type: Multi-mode fiber (MMF), 850 nm wavelength
Important: Please read all of the notices and warnings f for Class 1 Laser devices following this table before handling this component.
Fiber Type: Single-mode fiber (SMF), 1310 nm wavelength
Core Size (microns)/Range: 9/32808.4 feet (10 Kilometers)
Important: Please read all of the notices and warnings f for Class 1 Laser devices following this table before handling this component.
NOTE: Use shielded cabling whenever possible to further protect the chassis and its installed components from ESD or other transient voltage damage.
Important: Class 1 Laser Compliance Notice Because of the optical SFP interface, this product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class 1 laser devices for IEC825, EN60825, and 21CFR1040 specifications.
RJ45 SFP Module Detail
The following describes the RJ-45 (copper) SFP module for the GELC and the QGLC with pinouts and definitions:
Important: To comply with GR-1089 intra-building, lightning-immunity requirements and ensure compliance with FCC Radiated Emissions Criteria, you must use shielded-twisted pair cable and assure that it is properly terminated at both ends.
 
RJ-45 Interface Pinout
RJ-45 Interface Pinout
The following Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are provided on the Gigabit Ethernet line cards:
Link: This green LED shows whether or not the line card is connected to the network. The LED is illuminated when the card is connected.
Activity: This green LED shows when data is transmitted or received. The LED is illuminated when data is passing through the interface.
 
Cabling the Optical SFP Interface
To use the optical SFP interface(s) on the GELC and the QGLC, follow the instructions below.
Warning: Only trained and qualified personnel should install, replace, or service this equipment. Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected. Avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not look into open apertures. Be sure to keep the cover on the interface when it is not in use. Laser Klasse 1 - nur speziell ausgebildetes Personal darf dieses Geraet warten. Nicht in den Laser schauen, um Augenverletzungen zu vermeiden. Nicht genutzte Buchsen mit der entsprechenden Kappe verschliessen.

10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
The 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card, referred to as the XGLC, is a full-height line card. The XGLC uses industry standard SFP+ modules to support various fiber types as required. The following shows the XGLC’s single SFP+ interface.
 
 
XGLC Front Panel
SFP+ Modules Supported by the XGLC
Fiber Type: Multi-mode fiber (MMF), 850 nm wavelength
Rx Sensitivity: -11.1 dBm
Important: Please read all the notices and warnings for Class 1 Laser devices following this table before handling this component.
Fiber Type: Single-mode fiber (SMF), 1310 nm wavelength
Core Size (microns)/Range: 9/32808.4 feet (10 Kilometers)
Important: Please read all the notices and warnings for Class 1 Laser devices following this table before handling this component.
XGLCs can be installed in chassis slots 17 through 23 and 26 through 32. These cards should always be installed directly behind their respective PSCs, PSC2s, or PPCs, but they are not required behind any redundant packet processing cards (those operating in Standby mode).
The following Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are provided on the Gigabit Ethernet line cards:
Link: This green LED shows whether or not the line card is connected to the network. The LED is illuminated when the card is connected.
Activity: This green LED shows when data is transmitted or received. The LED is illuminated when data is passing through the interface.
Important: Disposal of this product should be performed in accordance with all national laws and regulations.
Important: Class 1 Laser Compliance Notice Because of the optical SFP interface, this product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class 1 laser devices for IEC825, EN60825, and 21CFR1040 specifications.
