Top-tier switching efficiency. The 12010E-SFC is a critical part of our high-availability core, ensuring consistent data delivery even during traffic spikes.
Professional grade fabric card. The installation was simple and the performance has been flawless for several months. Very satisfied with the reliability.
Consistent results in our core. This switch fabric card provides the stable and high-speed switching our metropolitan network demands every single day.
The 12010E-SFC is a high-capacity line card that boosts your Cisco 12010 router’s switching fabric, delivering up to 560 Gbps per card and up to 1.68 Tbps per chassis for superior network performance.
The 12010E-SFC is fully compatible with Cisco 12010 router chassis running Cisco IOS XR and requires a Supervisor Engine 2T for integration.
Each Enhanced Switch Fabric Card delivers up to 560 Gbps of fabric bandwidth and processes up to 80 million packets per second (Mpps) for line-rate forwarding.
Yes. You can deploy 12010E-SFC alongside legacy fabric cards in the same Cisco 12010 chassis, enabling incremental upgrades without downtime.
The Enhanced SFC offers up to 2× the bandwidth per slot, reduces forwarding latency by 40%, and supports double the multicast and QoS queues.
Power down the Cisco 12010 chassis, slide the 12010E-SFC into an available fabric module slot, secure the latch, then power up and verify with the show platform command.
No. The Enhanced Switch Fabric Card functions under your existing Cisco IOS XR fabric license; no extra licensing fees apply.
Each card draws 250 W under full load and requires front-to-back airflow at 50 CFM; ensure your chassis power supplies and fans meet Cisco’s thermal guidelines.
By using an optimized ASIC architecture, the Enhanced SFC achieves sub-usec fabric latency, improving time-sensitive application performance.
With 560 Gbps per card and eight fabric slots per chassis, you can scale to 1.68 Tbps of switching capacity to support growing data center and service-provider demands.
Ideal for high-density data centers, large-scale service-provider cores, and enterprise edge deployments requiring ultra-low latency and high throughput.
Yes. It accelerates Cisco IOS XR QoS, supports up to 32 K multicast groups, and offers extensive ACL and traffic-shaping features at line rate.
