The next graphic shows a Z77 shelf (on the left) with eight PME-412 line cards providing aggregation for
only two collector rings per card pair. The Z77 shelf on the right illustrates the advantages of the
TSW-10G10 modules. This Z77 shelf is configured with the XC-2800 switch fabric modules, two PME-412
line cards to provide client UNI interfaces, and four TSW-10G10 (two card pairs). Each TSW-10G10 card
pair is capable of aggregating up to nine collector rings.
