BSX8000-5 Overview
The BSX8000-5 Broadband Services Switch provides multi-gigabit Ethernet uplink
support capability, full-nonblocking switching throughput, and enhanced
management functionality for the 4000E and 12000E Broadband Access
Concentrators (BACs).
The BSX8000-5 supports four fixed 10/100/1000 RJ45 Ethernet interfaces and
one MIM (Micro Interface Module) slot. Multiple MIM varieties are supported.
The BSX8000-5 delivers a full 1 Gbps full duplex backplane connection to each
access module in the BAC. This ensures that the aggregate access bandwidth
cannot exceed the backplane speed of the chassis. When two BSX8000 modules
are used in the 12000E, the backplane speed is doubled, providing a 2 Gbps
connection to each access module.
The BSX8000-5 supports the following access modules:
 AAM8000-24
 AIM24000-48
 EIM2000-12
 EIM2000-24
 SIM2000-24
 TIM1500-12
 TIM1500-24
The BSX8000-5 supports 576 DSL ports.
