Cisco SIP-600, Refurbished Interface processor

The Cisco® I-Flex approach combines shared port adapters (SPAs) and SPA interface processors (SIPs), providing an extensible design that enables service prioritization for data, voice, and video services. Service provider customers can benefit from improved slot economics resulting from modular port adapters that are interchangeable across Cisco routing platforms.

The I-Flex design maximizes connectivity options and port density with SPAs that deliver line-rate performance. I-Flex enhances speed-to-service revenue and supports the rich set of quality-of-service (QoS) features from the Cisco 10000 Series Performance Routing Engines (PREs) while effectively reducing total cost of ownership.

This data sheet contains specifications for the Cisco 10000 Series SPA Interface Processor (10000 SIP-600) card.

Product Overview
The centralized architecture of the Cisco 10000 Series Router enables a simplified, cost-competitive SIP design that delivers all of the advanced hierarchical QoS (HQoS), high availability, scalability, and forwarding capabilities of the PREs to a wide range of SPA interfaces for maximum flexibility and price/performance.

The Cisco 10000 Series SIP-600 (Figure 1) supports four single-height or two double-height SPAs (Figure 2) using two adjacent line-card slots of the Cisco 10000 Series Router. Using application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and the flexibility to bond together point-to-point links, the SIP provides up to 11.2 Gbps of bandwidth and support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface at line-rate.

SPA modularity greatly extends the port density on the current Cisco 10000 Series chassis and offers customers flexible interface deployment options, making the Cisco 10000 Series Router an ideal choice for service provider customers who need high-density aggregation at the edge with the ability to share next-generation interfaces across multiple Cisco platforms.
