Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs) create the switch fabric for the MX10016. Each MX10016 contains six SFBs
that are installed vertically, mid-chassis, between the line cards and the RCBs in the front and the fan trays
in the rear. When all six SFBs are installed, the MX10016 has a net switching capacity of 96 Tbps.
MX10016 Switch Fabric Board Description
The SFBs make up the switching plane. Five SFBs are required for operation with the sixth providing n+1
redundancy. Each SFB has sixteen connectors that match and connect to a connector on one of the sixteen
line cards. See Figure 37 on page 81.
