Product Migration Options
Cisco Systems offers the "F" connectors-based uBR cable line card as a replacement product for the BNC connectors-based line card. The F connector-based line card has identical density, function, and performance. The only significant difference between the two types of cards is whether F connectors or BNC connectors are used to connect to coaxial cables. Table 3 recommends the migration products.
