l As shown in figure above, the CX600-X8 backplane is divided into two areas, with each
area having two power inputs. These four power inputs work in backup mode.
l The CX600-X8 supports either DC or AC power supply.
l In a DC power supply system of the CX600-X8, four 70 A PEMs work in 2+2 backup
mode. The figureshows details on the DC power supply system:
p Two -48 V power inputs join on the board.
p After the low-frequency filtering, the two -48 V power inputs for fans join
inside the fan module.
p Each DC power input contains one -48 V power input and one RTN input. Two
separated RTN inputs join on the board.
l In the case of an AC power supply system, an AC power frame is placed outside the
chassis and installed with rectifier modules based on system power. The AC power
frame is then connected to the input terminals on the DC-PEMs to supply power for the
system. (In short, an external AC power frame is added to the DCpower supply system
to constitute an AC power supply system.)

l Figure above shows the outline of the AC rectifier module, and the AC power supply
system of the CX600-X16.
l In the case of an AC power supply system, two AC power frames are placed outside
the chassis and installed with rectifier modules based on systempower. The AC power
frames are then connected to the input terminals on the DC-PEMs to supply power for
the system. (In short, external AC power frames are added to theDC power supply
system to constitute an AC power supply system.)
l The input AC power is converted through the AC/DC converter into regulated DC
power. Then, the output DC power is connected to the PEMs through external cables
to supply power for all boards and fan modules.

l The heat dissipation system is responsible for dissipating heat for the entire system. The
heat generated by boards is dissipated through the heat dissipation system. In this
manner, the temperature of the components on boards are controlled within a normal
range, enabling the boards to work stably.
p The heat dissipation system is composed of fan modules (one fan in each fan
module), fan control boards (FCBs), temperature sensors, air filters, air intake
and exhaust vents, and a system air channel.
p When a single fan fails, the other fans automatically rotate at full speed. In this
case, the heat dissipation system enables the system to work in a short period
of time at ambient temperature of 40".
p Temperature sensors, located on the air exhaust vent and boards, are used to
monitor the temperature of the components on boards and adjust the fan
speed through the command delivered by the SRU to control the temperature in
a normal range.
p The power modules of the system have two fans of their own for independent
heat dissipation.
l As the figure shown above, The CX600-X8 draws air from the front and exhausts air
from the back. The air intake vent resides above the board area on the front chassis;
the air exhaust vent resides above the board area on the rear chassis.
l The two fan modules of the CX600-X8 are located side by side at the air exhaust vent,
with each module containing one fan. The entire system dissipates heat by drawing air,
as shown in figure above.

l The CX600-X16 is divided into the upper chassis and the lower chassis, anddraws air
from the front and exhausts air from the rear. The air intake vent on the upper chassis
resides above the board area on the front chassis; the air exhaust vent resides above
the board area on the rear chassis. The lower chassis and the upper chassis are
opposites. In addition, the upper chassis and the lower chassis have separate heat
dissipation systems.
l The middle area of the chassis is for SFU slots. The air intake vent of this area resides on
the left of the chassis. Two upper SFU slots in the area draw air from the left. When
flowing to the right, the air joins the air from the upper chassis. Two lower SFU slots in
the area draw air from the left. When flowing to the right, the air joins the air from the
lower chassis.
l The CX600-X16 has three air channels:
p The upper and lower chassis have separate air channels that drawair from the
front and exhausts air from the rear. The air filters at the air intake vents are
vertically installed. The curved face, large area, and small windage resistance of
the air filters help to improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The two air filters
on the upper and lower chassis are the same.
p The air channel in the SFU slot area is located on the left of the chassis. The air
filter adopts front access. The depth of the air filter is the same as that of an
SFU and the height of the air filter is four times the height of the an SFU.

Fan Filtering Unit
l Background:
p The low-frequency noise (20 Hz to 20 KHz) generated during the running of the fans can be
transmitted through power supply cables, which interferes with the low frequency-sensitive
analog devices sharing power supply with the fans, such as voiceswitches and the devices
on the access network.
l Function:
p The low frequency filtering unit suppresses the low frequency noise through audio filtering
circuits, which prevents the impact of low frequency noise.
l Criteria:
p ENSI EN 300 132: is released by the Environment Engineering (EE) division of the ETSI and
provides a series of rules for the features of power input interfaces.
p NEBS GR-1089-Core: Section 10.7 of Chapter 10 "Criteria for DC Power Port of
Telecommunications Load Equipment" in the fourth edition of NEBSGR-1089-Core,
published in June 2006, lists the requirements for low frequencyinterference emission.
These requirements were upgraded to the "R" level requirements, which must be fulfilled, in
June 2007.
p ITU-T K.76: lists the requirements of the low frequency emission test in detail, which is similar
to ENSI EN 300 132.

Calculation of the Backplane Capacity
l CX600-16: 4 Tbps
p The backplane provides 40 pairs of SerDes links for each of the 16 slots.
The bandwidth of a SerDes link is 3.125 Gbps. Each pair of SerDes links
provides bidirectional data transmission. The 8B/10B cost is excluded from
the backplane capacity. Hence, the backplane capacity is: 40 x 16 x 3.125
Gbps x 2 =4 Tbps.
l CX600-8: 2Tbps
p The device provides eight slots, and the backplane capacity is 40 x 8 x
3.125 Gbps x 2 =2 Tbps.

Calculation of the Backplane Capacity (Cont.)
l CX600-X16: 30 Tbps
p The backplane provides 72 pairs of SerDes links for each of the 16 service slots and 32 pairs of
SerDes links for each of the two SRU slot. The rate of a SerDes link is up to 12.5 Gbps. Each pair
of SerDes links provides bidirectional data transmission. Hence, the backplane capacity is: 72 x
16 x 12.5 G +32 x 2 x 12.5 G x 2 =30.4 Tbps. (30 Tbps adopted for promotion)
l CX600-X815 Tbps
p The backplane provides 72 pairs of SerDes links for each of the eight service slots and 24 pairs
of SerDes links for each of the two SRU slots. The rate of a SerDes link is up to 12.5 Gbps. Each
pair of SerDes links provides bidirectional data transmission. Hence, the backplane capacity is:
72 x 8 x 12.5 G +24 x 2 x 12.5 G x 2 =15.6 Tbps. (15 Tbps adopted for promotion)
l CX600-X31.35 Tbps
p The backplane provides 54 pairs of SerDes links for all the three service slots. The rate of a
SerDes link is up to 12.5 Gbps. Each pair of SerDes links provides bidirectional data transmission.
Hence, the backplane capacity is: 54 x 12.5 G x 2 =1.35 Tbps.
l In the CX600X3 system, three LPUs are fully meshed through the backplane. The
backplane provides 54 pairs of Serdes links and each LPU provides 36 pairs of Serdes
links to connect to the backplane. Therefore, the backplane capacity is
$36*3/2x12.5G*2=1.35 Tbps

Calculation of the Switching Capacity
l CX600-16: 2.56Tbps
p Each of the 16 slots provides 32 pair of SerDes links. At present, 32 pairs
of the total 40 pairs of SerDes links are used. The bandwidth of a SerDes
link is 3.125 Gbps. Each pair of SerDes links provides bidirectional data
transmission. Hence, the switching capacity is: 32 x 16 x 3.125 x (8B/10B)
x 2 =2.56 Tbps
l CX600-8: 640Gbps
p Each of the eight slots provides 16 pairs of SerDes links. At present, 16
pairs of the total 40 pairs of SerDes links are used. The bandwidth of a
SerDes link is 3.125 Gbps. Each pair of SerDes links provides bidirectional
data transmission. Hence, the switching capacity is: 16 x 8 x 3.125 x

p Each of the 16 slots provides 32 pairs of SerDes links. At present, 32 pairs of the total 72 pairs
of SerDes links are used. The bandwidth of a SerDes link is 3.125 Gbps. Each pair of SerDes
links provides bidirectional data transmission. Hence, the switching capacity is: 32 x 16 x 3.125
x (8B/10B) x 2 =2.56 Tbps
l CX600-X8: 1.44Tbps
p Each of the eight slots provides 36 pairs of SerDes links. At present, 36 pairs of the total 72
pairs of SerDes links are used. The bandwidth of a SerDes link is 3.125 Gbps. Each pair of
SerDes links provides bidirectional data transmission. Hence, the switching capacity is: 32 x 8 x
3.125 x (8B/10B) x 2 =1.44 Tbps
l CX600-X3: 1.08Tbps
p Each of the three slots provides 36 pairs of SerDes links. The bandwidth of a SerDes link is up to
12.5 Gbps. Each pair of SerDes links provides bidirectional datatransmission. The CX600-X3
adopts the full-mesh connection for the LPUs and backplane; hence, the switching capacity is:
(36 x 3/2) x 12.5 x (8B/10B) x 2 =1.08 Tbps
l In the CX600X3 system, three LPUs are fully meshed through the backplane, so the
switching capacity depends on the Serdes bandwidth. Currently, the backplane
provides 12.5G Serdes bandwidth, so the switching capacity of the X3 system
depends on the Serdes capacity on the LPUs. Considering that thehardware does not
need to be replaced to support even larger switching capacity, the switching capacity is
(36*3/2)*12.5*(8B/10B)*2'1.08Tbps .

Questions
l Please describe the network position of CX600-X8/X16 routers.
l What is the difference between the control planes of CX600-X8
and CX600-X16?
l What is the difference between the SFUs of CX600-X8 and
CX600-X16?
l Please describe the network position of CX600-X8/X16 routers.
l Answer:
p CX600-X8/X16 is usually deployed as the core node of ISP backbone network or
the core router of large-scale MAN, large enterprise network and egress of IDC.
p Support IP Bearer network, IPTV bearer network, multi-play IP MAN, IPRAN
access network applications.
p What is the difference between the control planes of CX600-X8 and CX600-
X16?
l Answer:
p The control plane of the CX600-X8 is separated from the data plane and the
monitoring plane. The SRU is adopted on the CX600-X8. The SRU integrates an
SFU used for data switching.
p The control plane of the NE40-X16 is MPU, on which doesnt integrate SFU.
p What is the difference between the SFUs of CX600-X8 and CX600-X16?
l Answer:
p The SFU on the CX600-X8 switches data for the entire system at wire speed of
480 Gbit/s (240 Gbit/s for the upstream traffic and 240 Gbit/s for the
downstream traffic). This ensures a non-blocking switching network. The
CX600-X8 has three SFUs working in 2+1 load balancing mode. The entire
system provides a switching capacity at wire speed of 1.44 Tbit/s. The three
SFUs load balance services at the same time. When one SFU is faulty or replaced,
the other two SFUs automatically take over its tasks to ensure normal running
of services.
p The SFU on the CX600-X16 switches data for the entire system at wire speed of
640 Gbit/s (320 Gbit/s for the upstream traffic and 320 Gbit/s for the
downstream traffic). This ensures a non-blocking switching network. The
CX600-X16 has four SFUs working in 3+1 load balancing mode. The entire
system provides a switching capacity at wire speed of 2.56 Tbit/s. The four SFUs
load balance services at the same time. When one SFU is faulty or replaced, the
other three SFUs automatically take over its tasks to ensure normal running of
services.
