Passport 8000 Chassis
Overview
The Passport 8000 series is comprised of four chassis - the ten slot Passport 8010 and Passport 8010CO, the six
slot Passport 8006 and the three slot Passport 8003. The series also includes two categories of modules, the
Passport 8100 series Edge Switch modules and the Passport 8600 Routing Switch series modules.
The Passport 8010, 8010CO and 8006 chassis support all Passport 8000 modules. All chassis components are
hot swappable and include N+1 power redundancy. These chassis provide high density, redundant solutions
for both the wiring closet and network core:
• The 10-slot Passport 8010 chassis is designed for high-density campus wiring closet and backbones needing
the highest levels of availability and scalability.
• The Passport 8010CO chassis is a NEBS 3-compliant chassis that supports all Passport 8000 series modules.
This chassis provides Service Providers and Carriers with a fully redundant carrier class solution.
• The 6-slot chassis is designed for medium-sized, lower-density wiring closets and backbones.
• The Passport 8003 chassis supports all existing Passport 8600 series routing switch modules only.
This chassis brings all the functionality of a larger core switch to a smaller footprint.
