Cisco 10000 Series

24-Port Channelized E1/T1 Line Card

The Cisco 10000 Series 24-Port Channelized E1/T1 Line Card provides flexibility, scalability, and an enhanced price-to-performance ratio in the E1/T1 aggregation market. Targeted primarily at Internet service providers (ISPs) for situations in which fiber interfaces are unavailable or prohibitively expensive, the Cisco 10000 Series Channelized E1/T1 Line Card supports 24 E1/T1 ports (Layer 2 connectivity), each of which can be independently channelized down to DS0 or NxDS0. Layer 3 services are supported by the Cisco 10000 Series advanced Performance Routing Engine (PRE). By taking advantage of the advanced PRE architecture, ISPs will enjoy the necessary processing performance to enable the advanced IP services that users demand.

Product Description

The 24-port channelized E1/T1 module is a full-height line card that supports maximum flexibility and can be used in any Cisco 10000 Series interface card slot. All cards are hot-swappable. The RJ-48c ports software-configurable to support either T1 or E1 (120-ohm) interfaces on a per-card basis, meaning all 24 ports in either E1 mode or in T1 mode. The 24-port channelized E1/T1 line card may be used in many customer applications. It is ideal for providing direct customer IP access or network-to-network connections where copper E1 or T1 is the only service to a remote point of presence (POP). The line card supports Frame Relay, High-Level Data Link (HDLC), and PPP, thereby offering three different Layer 2 encapsulations of IP packets.

Cisco 10000 Series 24-port Channelized E1/T1 Line Card Port Densities (Assuming Dual Uplinks With Half-Height Line Cards)

Capabilities	Ports Per Line Card	Ports Per Chassis	Ports Per 7-Foot Rack
E1/T1	24	168	1,008

Each Cisco 10000 Series 24-port channelized E1/T1 line card supports up to 24 E1 or T1 connections, with up to 744 channels. As shown in Table 1, a fully configured Cisco 10008 chassis with two uplink half-height modules can support up to 168 E1s/T1s or up to 1,008 E1s/T1s per seven-foot rack.

Key Benefits

Two important benefits of the Cisco 10000 Series 24-port Channelized E1/T1 Line Card are its ability to provide full channelization and its ability to scale from 168 E1s/T1s per box up to 1,008 E1/T1 connections per seven-foot rack. Another benefit is that it can be configured with software to support either E1 or T1 on a per-card basis. This feature enhances its flexibility and augments services without changing the E1/T1 connection.

Scalability to Increase Services

The Cisco 10000 Series provides industry-leading scalability that enables an ISP to add more customers and services without requiring additional rack space in the POP. With the 24-port channelized E1/T1 line card, the Cisco 10008 chassis can accommodate 168 E1s/DS1s to 1008 E1s/DS1s.

The scalability of the Cisco 10000 Series with 24-port channelized E1/T1 card enables ISPs to stay ahead of the tremendous demand for Internet connectivity while at the same time making highly efficient use of scarce POP space.

Price and Performance Leadership

ISPs must be nimble, continuously providing new services such as quality of service (QoS), access lists, and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) virtual private networks (VPNs) to keep existing customers and to find new ones. But they also must be able to scale so that these new services are cost-effective. The 24-port channelized E1/T1 line card enables the Cisco 10000 Series to be one of the most cost-effective E1/T1 aggregation platforms on the market by:

•Integrating channel service unit (CSU) and data service unit (DSU) features like framing, performance monitoring, remote loopbacks, and BERT

•Distributing costs over the largest number of ports, reducing the overall cost per port of the Cisco 10000 Series solution

•Enabling ISPs to continue to use the existing physical infrastructure of E1 and T1 circuits while supporting new IP services, reducing costs for the ISP and for users

Key Features

•24 E1/T1 ports per line card

•Support for creating as many as 744 separate channels per line card (full channelization) using various combinations of channelized, fractional, clear channel, and unframed services

Cabling

You can use up to 24 Category 3 or Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) transmit and receive cables with RJ-48C plugs at each end. These cables connect to two staggered 12-line faceplate RJ-48C jacks with 110-ohm balanced-line inputs, which allow the line card to operate in either T1 (100-ohm balanced) or E1 (120-ohm balanced) mode. The faceplate RJ-48C jacks are numbered 0 to 11 and 12 to 23 left-to-right and top-to-bottom.

You can also use a Cisco cable adapter (CAB-ADAPT-75-120) for coaxial British Navel Connector (BNC) unbalanced transmit and receive E1 connections.

Cisco cable adapters connect 75-ohm unbalanced G.703 E1 coaxial BNC transmit and receive lines to Cisco E1 120-ohm balanced transmit and receive lines. The connections are made through eight-pin RJ-48C jacks on the 120-ohm side and dual coaxial lines (transmit and receive) with BNC connectors at the 75-ohm side.

Class A emissions compliance is met when the 120-ohm E1 port is connected to the 75-120-ohm cable adapter using RJ-48C connectors and Category 3 or Category 5 shielded foil twisted-pair (FTP) cable with 120-ohm impedance. Two switches on the 120-ohm side must be configured to connect the outer conductor of the shielded cable to a protected earth ground.

Class B emissions compliance is also met with shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling.

–Green (carrier detected)—When green, this status LED indicates that a carrier signal exists at the corresponding port, which indicates normal interface operation. During loopback testing, this LED also lights green.

–Yellow (alarm active)—When yellow, this status LED indicates that the corresponding port data path is in an alarm condition. The following alarms are monitored: loss of signal (LOS), loss of frame (LOF), remote alarm indication (RAI), and alarm indication signal (AIS).

–Off—When not lit, this status LED indicates that the port is administratively down.
