Each module has LEDs to indicate 
port status and activity and additional
LEDs to indicate power and 
diagnostic status. 
Table 1 shows the connectivity types 
and maximum port density that can 
be supported in both the 6-slot and 
10-slot chassis.
Future support for 16-port Gigabit
Ethernet modules will enable density to
scale to 128 ports in the 10-slot chassis
and 64 ports in the 6-slot chassis.
Future releases will provide for Gigabit
Ethernet over copper media, using IEEE
802.3ab compliant 1000BASE-T modules.
The 8-port 8608GBIC Routing Switch
module (see Figure 3) uses plug-in
Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs)
with SC connectors for customers wishing 
to “mix and match” interface types on 
a single module. They are available in 
shortwave (SX), longwave (LX) and
extended distance (XD and ZX). 
The 8608GBIC module is optimized 
for LAN backbones and server farms,
enabling long-distance switch inter-
connection over multi-mode or single-
mode fiber. 
Both modules deliver up to 16 Gbps 
of bandwidth in a single trunk using 
distributed Multi-Link Trunking and 
also support eXpress Classification (XC)
for wire-speed Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4
policy services.
