Chapter 1 Cisco uBR10012 Universal Broadband Router Overview
Cable Interface Line Cards
The Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card and the Cisco uBR10-MC16x cable interface line cards (MC16C,
MC16E, and MC16S) are mechanically connected to each other by means of brackets and power
connectors (see
Figure 1-17). The Cisco uBR10-LCP2 not only adapts the cable interface line card to
the form factor of the Cisco uBR10012 series chassis, but also provides the following:
• Proper voltage conversion for the cards and chassis
• Boot code required to use the cable interface line cards
• SDRAM for buffering packets as they are transferred between the card and the PRE
The cards are inserted into and removed from the Cisco uBR10012 series chassis as a single logical and
physical unit. All Cisco
uBR10-LCP2-MC16x cable interface line cards support Online Insertion and
Removal (OIR). OIR uses the MAC address assigned to the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card, allowing
you to replace any Cisco
uBR10-MC16x cable interface line card installed on the adapter card without
losing the configuration information.
Caution Do not attempt to separate or remove the cable interface line card from the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter
card while the adapter card is inserted in the router. Remove the cards from the chassis as a unit and then
separate them on a lab bench or other area that protects against ESD damage.
Figure 1-17 shows the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card with the Cisco uBR-MC16C cable interface line
card installed.
