Consistent and trustworthy timing. This enhanced clock scheduler has been 100% stable in our high-traffic production environment. A top-tier piece of hardware.
The Cisco 12816 1280Gbps Enhanced Clock Scheduler Card is a high-performance timing module for the Catalyst 12816 core switch, providing precise packet scheduling and low latency for large-scale networks.
The 12816E-CSC card is compatible exclusively with the Cisco Catalyst 12816 switch chassis and requires the corresponding supervisor engine for full functionality.
It delivers 1.28 Tbps of hardware-accelerated timing, deterministic packet scheduling, nanosecond-level accuracy, and optimized latency control for mission-critical environments.
It minimizes packet delay variation with hardware-based time stamping and precise queue management, ensuring consistent throughput and ultra-low jitter.
The card supports up to 1.28 terabits per second of line-rate scheduling capacity across all ports.
Power off the Catalyst 12816 chassis, slide the card into an available scheduler slot, secure the retention screws, and power on the system.
No additional licenses are required; the Enhanced Clock Scheduler Card functions under the Catalyst 12816 chassis’ existing licensing model.
The card draws 25 W and operates within the Catalyst 12816 chassis’ standard air-cooling profile, requiring no separate power or cooling modules.
It uses deterministic time-aware scheduling algorithms and per-queue rate limiting to enforce SLAs and prioritize latency-sensitive traffic.
Yes; you can track scheduler metrics, port latency, and queue utilization via Cisco IOS XE CLI or the Cisco DNA Center dashboard.
The card measures 267 mm x 357 mm x 25 mm (10.5” x 14.1” x 1”) and occupies one dedicated scheduler slot.
The card is covered by Cisco’s limited lifetime warranty and is eligible for Cisco Smart Net Total Care support services.
By delivering sub-microsecond accuracy and hardware-accelerated time stamping, it supports financial trading, industrial automation, and 5G fronthaul.
It complies with NEBS Level 3, ETSI, and RoHS standards, operating from 0 °C to 40 °C at 5%–90% non-condensing humidity.
It ensures deterministic end-to-end latency by aligning packet dispatch to precise hardware clocks and eliminating software scheduling delays.
The 12816E-CSC is available through authorized Cisco resellers, Cisco’s online store, or by contacting Cisco sales directly for volume licensing.
