Product Overview
The Cisco
®
 uBR-MC20X20V Broadband Processing 
Engine (BPE) is a DOCSIS
®
 3.0-capable next-generation 
line card for the Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband 
Router. It adds exciting features to the Cisco uBR10012 
platform – including 20 upstream and 20 downstream 
channels – while supporting the industry benchmark 
standards for excellence and reliability that were estab-
lished by the Cisco 5x20H BPE.
With the explosion of video traffic and social networking 
applications, speed and scalability are critical factors to 
keeping consumers happy. Cisco’s Visual Networking 
Index (VNI) forecasts that by 2013, annual global IP traffic 
will reach two-thirds of a zettabyte (one trillion gigabytes), 
video traffic will exceed 90 percent of global consumer 
traffic, and global online video will comprise 60 percent 
of consumer Internet traffic (up from 32 percent in 2009). 
As consumer demand for high-quality media on any 
device grows daily, cable operators are considering 
new intelligent solutions for their medianets (all-IP Next-
Generation Networks optimized for rich media). 
Cisco provides an end-to-end, DOCSIS 3.0-capable 
solution enabling multiple services to multiple devices 
over the same infrastructure to both residential and com-
mercial subscribers.
This solution will allow cable operators to provide sub-
scribers with the best possible quality of experience, 
while minimizing operating expenses and differentiating 
next-generation services from those of their competitors.
Cisco’s DOCSIS 3.0 solution with the Cisco uBR-
MC20X20V card 
delivers faster speeds and higher 
capacity than earlier technology, with a flexible and 
scalable architecture. The resulting benefits are faster 
time to market, lower total cost of ownership, and 
higher revenues than previously possible, thus 
helping cable operators prepare their networks for the 
exponential growth of IP traffic. 
The Cisco uBR-MC20X20V allows cable operators to 
cost-effectively deploy DOCSIS 3.0 services in existing 
and new Cisco uBR10000 Series Universal Broadband 
Router deployments. It is also an ideal solution for 
cable operators looking for the operational simplicity of 
integrated Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) 
technology. Along with these benefits of the line card, the 
Cisco uBR10012 platform offers operators the flexibility 
to deploy hybrid integrated and modular CMTS architec-
tures at the same time in the same chassis. The Cisco 
uBR-MC20X20V provides 160 downstream channels and 
160 upstream channels on the Cisco uBR10012 chassis 
and can scale to 304 downstream channels when used 
with Cisco’s DOCSIS 3.0-ready wideband Shared Port 
Adapter (SPA).
The Cisco uBR-MC20X20V is available in three license 
options that offer customers a pay-as-you-grow model:
uBR-MC20X20V-0D: Includes base hardware 
and software licenses for 0 downstream and 20 
upstream channels
uBR-MC20X20V-5D: Includes base hardware 
and software licenses for 5 downstream and 20 
upstream channels
uBR-MC20X20V-20D: Includes base hardware 
and software licenses for 20 downstream and 20 
upstream channels
Software licenses are available to upgrade to the 
full capacity of the Cisco uBR-MC20X20V. Capacity 
upgrades no longer require hardware changes, thus 
making them operationally simple and efficient.
Beating the Competition with Higher-Speed, 
Affordable, Easy Upgrade
Cable operators are facing increasing competition from 
wireline service providers and fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) 
technologies (such as to the home, premises, building, 
or node) offering higher-speed services to businesses 
and residential customers than what was achievable 
with older DOCSIS technologies. With the introduction 
of DOCSIS 3.0 technology, cable operators now have 
the tools to combat this threat by not only matching the 
speeds offered by the competition but also beating 
them. However, the challenge for operators lies in mini-
mizing capital and operational expenditures (CapEx and 
OpEx) while deploying DOCSIS 3.0 services. With the 
Cisco uBR-MC20X20V, it’s all possible.
Deploying the new line card involves a simple upgrade 
from the Cisco 5x20H or Cisco 5x20U line card. From 
a connectivity point of view, the Cisco uBR-MC20X20V 
is identical to Cisco MC520H/MC520U with five down-
stream ports and 20 upstream ports. In addition, the 
Cisco uBR-MC20X20V uses the same MCX and UCH2 
connectors. An upgrade to the Cisco uBR-MC20X20V 
is therefore a simple matter of disconnecting existing 
cables, removing the MC520H line card, inserting the 
Cisco uBR-MC20X20V into the slot, and reconnecting 
the connectors. Cisco Bighorn IOS
®
 Software (required 
for uBR-MC20X20V) provides online insertion and 
removal (OIR) compatibility features to make transitioning 
DOCSIS 2.0 configurations on previous line cards to the 
new line cards operationally simple as well.
Cisco supports operating the uBR-MC20X20V as well 
as Cisco 5x20H/Cisco 5x20U in the same uBR10012 
chassis. Furthermore, a single uBR-MC20X20V can act 
as Protect/Standby for both uBR-MC20X20V as well as 
5x20H/5x20U operating as Working/Active Line Cards in 
a uBR10012 chassis thereby providing flexible and cost-
effective solution for Line Card redundancy.
From a CapEx perspective, the Cisco uBR-MC20X20V is one 
of the industry’s leading values today. Cisco IOS Software 
brings unparalleled feature richness and flexibility. Software 
licensing options bring greater pricing flexibility.
