CISCO UBR 3X10 RF SWITCH

High availability for broadband cable IP services is becoming a requirement as multiple system operators (MSOs) enter voice over IP (VoIP)

and commercial service markets. Cisco Systems® offers the Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch as part of its high-availability cable modem termination

system (CMTS) solution set. The Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch works with the Cisco uBR10012 and uBR7246VXR universal broadband routers

to deliver unprecedented levels of availability, scalability, and flexibility when deploying advanced, revenue-generating services such as voice

and virtual private networks (VPNs) over cable systems. The Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch, combined with the Cisco uBR10012 or

uBR7246VXR, provides unmatched RF performance, high-availability, and configuration flexibility. The product supports Data Over Cable

Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS), European DOCSIS (Euro-DOCSIS), and PacketCable specifications. Together, the products enable

a fully redundant system with no single point of failure.

The Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch supports three downstream switch modules and 10 upstream modules. The product provides an Ethernet

controller module, an AC or DC power supply, and optional color-coded cabling that is terminated in advance. With connections to the Cisco

uBR10012 and uBR7246VXR and the hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) cable plant, the compact three-rack-unit (3-RU) Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch

supports more than 250 connections and offers a new level of network redundancy suited for high-performance, high-density applications. The

product works with Cisco communications-grade CMTSs to create a fully redundant system that enables cable operators to achieve PacketCable

system availability, minimize service disruptions, and simplify operations. Each Cisco RF Switch is a multiplexing system that can reroute any

of the RF cables connected to active Cisco RF line cards to a spare or backup set of RF line cards.
