Cisco 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps Wideband Shared Port Adapter (SPA) for the Cisco uBR10012 Data Sheet
Available Languages
Product Overview
Offer high-speed broadband connectivity at high scale and IP video services with low capital costs with the Cisco® 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps Wideband Shared Port Adapters. They are the next-generation high-density SPAs for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router. The Cisco 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps Wideband SPAs (Figure 1 and Figure 2) provide dramatically increased density, as compared to the Cisco 1 Gbps Wideband SPA for the Cisco uBR10012. Provisioned with the Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband SPA, the Cisco uBR10012 also provides cable operators with an easy, flexible upgrade path toward a Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) and an all-IP infrastructure. The higher-density Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband SPA also reduces operational requirements, capital expenditures (CapEx), and rack space requirements. A Cisco uBR10012 equipped with eight Cisco uBR-MC3GX60V Broadband Processing Engines and eight Cisco 3 Gbps SPAs can provide up to 1152 Data Over Cable System Interface Specification (DOCSIS®) downstream channels or 864 Euro-DOCSIS downstream channels at line rate.
Starting from Cisco IOS® Release 12.2(33)SCI, the Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband SPA can be upgraded to 6-Gbps capability through the field-programmable device (FPD) image upgrade. Each Cisco 6 Gbps Wideband SPA card can provide up to 144 DOCSIS downstream channels or 108 Euro-DOCSIS downstream channels at line rate (or 120 Euro-DOCSIS downstream channels with slight over subscription).
The Cisco uBR10012 can support two Cisco 10000 Series SPA Interface Processor-600 (SIP-600). Each Cisco 10000 Series SIP-600 can support up to four Cisco 6 Gbps Wideband SPA cards, or a total of 576 DOCSIS downstream channels or 432 Euro-DOCSIS downstream channels per Cisco 10000 Series SIP-600 with about 2:1 oversubscription due to the bandwidth limit of 11.2 Gbps per Cisco 10000 Series SIP-600.
Features and Benefits
High-Density SPA Expands Downstream Bandwidth
● Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband SPA capacity for 72 DOCSIS downstream channels or 54 Euro-DOCSIS downstream channels at line rate, which can be upgraded to 144 DOCSIS downstream channels or 120 Euro-DOCSIS downstream channels starting from Cisco IOS 12.2(33)SCI Release.
● Cisco 3 Gbps Wideband SPAs that work in conjunction with the existing Cisco uBR-MC3GX60V to double the available downstream bandwidth of the Cisco uBR10012 system (With FPD image upgrade to 6-Gbps capacity, available downstream bandwidth of the Cisco uBR10012 system can be tripled with some level of oversubscription.)
● Support for 1 Gbps or more per service group.
● Cisco 6 Gbps Wideband SPA capacity for 144 DOCSIS downstream channels or 108 Euro-DOCSIS. downstream channels at line rate (or 120 Euro-DOCSIS downstream channels with slight over subscription).
Small Form Factor Promotes Industry-Leading Density
● Single-wide, half-height SPA form factor, which allows up to eight Cisco 3 Gbps or 6 Gbps Wideband SPAs to be equipped using two Cisco 10000 Series SPA Interface Processor-600 jacket cards.
Link Redundancy Assures High Availability
● Three 1 Gigabit Ethernet Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports or 1 + 1 redundant 10 Gigabit Ethernet Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) ports (The Cisco 6 Gbps Wideband SPA only supports 10‑Gigabit interface).
● Connectivity to third-party edge quadrature amplitude modulations (QAMs) using three dedicated 1 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces or dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Backward Compatibility
● Compatible with currently supported line cards and SPA.
● RF spanning support
◦ Downstream channels from the Cisco 3 Gbps or 6 Gbps Wideband SPA can be associated with a service group hosted on different line cards, like Cisco uBR-MC3GX60V and Cisco uBR-MC20X20V Broadband Processing Engines.
◦ Downstream channels from the 3 Gbps or 6 Gbps Wideband SPA can be associated with upstream channels from a Cisco uBR-MC3GX60V or Cisco uBR-20X20V Broadband Processing Engines in one MAC domain.
Flexibility with Cisco Software Licensing
● Software license support allows incremental investment for effective use of capital.
● Minimum configuration includes base hardware and licenses for 16 downstream channels.
● Additional optional licenses are available in increments of 1 downstream channel, up to the full capacity of 144 downstream channels (Annex B) or 120 downstream channels (Annex A).
● Cisco Software Licensing infrastructure facilitates licensing.
SIP throughput monitoring
● Starting from Cisco IOS 12.2(33)SCI.
● Provide customer with a way to monitor the SPA Interface Processor (SIP) throughput.
● Warning message will be automatically prompted on console when the SIP throughput exceeds the pre‑defined threshold.
