Modules
The Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch chassis comprises 14 slots. Twelve of the
slots are for application modules and two of the slots are for management
modules, which control the operations of the chassis. The following is a list
of the modules supported by the Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch:
■
Management Module

- Octal 10/100 Ethernet SpectraFlow Module
- Gigabit Ethernet SpectraFlow Module
- Packet over SONET (POS) SpectraFlow Module
CableOnce TM
Network
Connections
The system supports a CableOnce design that allows you to
cable directly to the appropriate connector fixed to the rear
of the chassis, or slot backplate. Cabling directly to these
stationary connectors, instead of to the modules
themselves, allows module replacement without recabling.
You remove a module and then insert a new one while the
cables remain attached to the system. This blind-mate
design also lets you pre-cable chassis slots to prepare them
in advance for module installation at a later time.
Hot-swappable
Modules All system modules can be replaced while the system is
running without interruption to other interconnected
networks. Both application modules and Management
modules are hot-swappable.
