ESCON Aggregation Cards
The ESCON aggregation card is a 10-port card for ESCON (Enterprise Systems Connection) traffic. The
ESCON card converts the 10 client signals from optical to electrical and then aggregates them into a
single 2.5-Gbps signal. This aggregated signal is sent through the backplane and the active switch fabric
to either a 10-Gbps ITU trunk card or a 10-Gbps uplink card. The cross connection between the two cards
is configured using the CLI (command-line interface). The ESCON aggregation card has a redundant
backplane connection.
The ESCON aggregation card uses multimode 62.5/125 µm optical cable with SFPs (small form factor
pluggables) and MT-RJ connectors for the client signals. (See Figure 1-21.)
