Introduction to the SP Switch Router Adapter card
Overview of the SP Switch Router Adapter card

The SP Switch Router Adapter media card is cabled to a connector jack on an SP Switch. This 
media card transfers data to/from the SP Switch at 100 MB/s in each direction.     

Like other SP Switch Router media interfaces, the SP Switch Router Adapter media card:

–

is intelligent, and performs IP-level routing and route look-ups

–

provides complete speed-decoupling between the connecting media and the 
gigabit/second router switch core

–

fully buffers data for input and output queuing; each card has 16MB of high-speed 
receive buffer memory and 16MB of high-speed transmit buffers        

    

                              

The SP Switch Router Adapter card provides one 
full-duplex interface.  

This illustration shows the faceplate, the interface 
connector, and the card LEDs. 

The actual height of the SP Switch Router Adapter card is 
10 inches. 

The SP Switch Router Adapter cable 50-pin 
connector end is also shown.
