Overview
The Cisco GSR 12816 Switch Fabric Card (part number 12816-SFC) is a high-performance, modular fabric component designed for the Cisco GSR 12000 series routers. It provides reliable, low-latency packet forwarding for carrier-grade networks, supporting a wide range of IP, MPLS, and Ethernet services. This fabric card enables seamless scaling of bandwidth while maintaining deterministic performance, making it ideal for service providers and large enterprises that demand continuous, high-speed data transport.

Key Features

  • High-throughput architecture delivering up to 2.5 Tbps of aggregate switching capacity
  • Low latency forwarding with sub-microsecond processing times
  • Supports up to 32 Gbps per port for flexible interface configurations
  • Redundant power and cooling for maximum availability
  • Built-in support for QoS, traffic shaping, and advanced routing protocols
  • Hot-swap capable for non-disruptive upgrades and maintenance

Technical Specifications

  • Form factor: 2RU, front-to-back cooling
  • Fabric bandwidth: 2.5 Tbps total
  • Port density: 16 x 10 Gbps or 8 x 20 Gbps or 4 x 40 Gbps configurable
  • Operating temperature: 0 to 40 degrees Celsius
  • Power consumption: 250 watts typical, with dual redundant power supplies
  • Supported interfaces: Ethernet, SONET/SDH, ATM, and POS
  • Management: Cisco IOS and SNMP v2/v3 compatible

Applications
The GSR 12816 Switch Fabric Card is suited for high-capacity backbone routing, metro Ethernet aggregation, MPLS VPN services, and large data-center interconnects. It excels in environments where predictable latency, high availability, and scalable bandwidth are critical, such as ISP core networks, enterprise WANs, and carrier-grade virtual private networks.
