2-port 100-Gigabit Ethernet Line Card
The 2-port 100-GE line card provides two CFP cages for CFP Ethernet optical interface modules that 
operate at a rate of 100-Gbps. 
The two CFP modules can be100-Gigabit Ethernet multimode connections.
The 2-port 100-GE line card is available in either an -SE (Service Edge Optimized) or -TR (Packet 
Transport Optimized) version. Both versions are functionally equivalent, but vary in configuration scale 
and buffer capacity. 
Each CFP cage on the 2-port 100-GE line card has an adjacent Link LED visible on the front panel. The 
Link LED indicates the status of the associated CFP port.
Figure 2-32 shows the front panel and connectors of the 2-port 100-GE line card.
