1400 ft per minute at normal room temperature, low fan speed (4000 RPM)

1800 ft per minute at high temperature or altitude, maximum fan speed (5150 RPM)

Note Software controls the speed of the fans based on measurements from the chassis thermal sensors.

Acoustic noise

Fans at normal to moderate speed, temperature 75°F (24°C):

74.5 dBa—front of chassis
74 dBa—rear of chassis

Fans at maximum speed (5150 RPM), temperature 104°F (40°C):

78 dBa—front of chassis
81 dBa—rear of chassis

Fault condition—one failed fan tray and the fans in the other fan tray running at full speed (6700 RPM):

74.6 dBa—front of chassis
86.1 dBa—rear of chassis

Shock and vibration

Designed and tested to meet the NEBS shock and vibration standards defined in GR-63-CORE (Issue 2, April 2002).

1 Short-term refers to a period of not more than 96 consecutive hours and a total of not more than 15 days in 1 year. This refers to a total of 360 hours in any given year, but no more than 15 occurrences during that 1-year period.


Compliance and Safety Specifications

For information about the compliance and safety standards with which the Cisco CRS-1 router conforms, see Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information.

DC Wire Gauge and Resistance

This section lists the recommended wire sizes for the line card chassis. To prevent signal degradation, a conductor must be large enough to prevent its impedance from creating a voltage drop equal to 2 percent of the reference voltage. See Table C-3 for a list of wire gauges that prevent unacceptable voltage drops over different lengths of copper wire. Gauge values are in American Wire Gauge (AWG). See Table C-4 for the resistance of 1000 feet of copper wire at various wire gauges.


Note For safety, the protective earth conductor (ground wire) must be large enough to carry all of the current if the -48 VDC return fails. Full fault redundancy is achieved by having equal size conductors for the protective earth ground and the -48 VDC return of the switch.



Note Table C-3 and Table C-4 are for planning purposes. The tables contain estimates only; actual figures are subject to local laws and practices. We recommend that you base your measurements on 50 A or greater, and use 6 AWG wire or greater.
