Quad Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (QGLC)

The QGLC is a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet line card that installs directly behind its associated packet processing card to
provide network connectivity to the packet data network. There are several different versions of Small Form-factor
Pluggable (SFP) modules available for the QGLC.
Table 14. SFP Modules Supported by the QGLC
Module Type Card Identification
1000Base-SX Ethernet 1000 SX
1000Base-LX Ethernet 1000 LX
1000Base-T Ethernet 1000 Copper
Important:
IEC825, EN60825, and 21CFR1040 specifications.
The QGLC supports the Star Channel (1 Gbps) for faster FPGA upgrades and is Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS) 6/6 compliant.
Install QGLCs in chassis slots 17 through 23, 26 through 39, and 42 through 48. Always install these cards directly
behind their respective packet processing cards. They are not required behind any redundant packet processing cards
(those operating in Standby mode).
The following shows the front panel of the QGLC, identifying its interfaces and major components:
