Ethernet 10/100 Line Card
The Ethernet 10/100 line card, commonly referred to as the Fast Ethernet Line Card (FELC), is installed directly behind
its respective packet processing card, providing network connectivity to the RAN interface and the packet data network.
Each card has eight RJ-45 interfaces, numbered top to bottom from 1 to 8. Each of these IEEE 802.3-compliant
interfaces supports auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet. Allowable cabling includes:
100Base-Tx - full or half duplex Ethernet on CAT 5 shielded twisted pair (STP) or unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cable
10Base-T - full or half duplex Ethernet on CAT 3, 4, or 5 STP or UTP cable
Important: Use shielded cabling whenever possible to further protect the chassis and its installed components
from ESD or other transient voltage damage.
The Ethernet 10/100 Line Card can be installed in chassis slots 17 through 23, 26 through 39, and 42 through 48. These
cards are always installed directly behind their respective packet processing cards, but are not required to be placed
behind any redundant packet processing cards (those operating in Standby mode).
