- Increased chassis power budget to allow 100-percent slot fill of modular engines with non-redundant power configuration
- Increased cooling for modular engines when operating under Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) / ETSI extended temperature range
- Modernized chassis appearance
- Building Integrated Timing Supply (BITS) and Single-Router Automatic Protection Switching (SR APS) enabled
The Cisco 12000 Series routers compose a portfolio of intelligent routing solutions that scale from 2.5- to n x10 Gbps capacity per slot, enabling carrier-class IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks and accelerating the evolution to IP Next-Generation Networks. Built upon a foundation of investment protection, this portfolio delivers up to 1.28-terabits-per-second of switching capacity with wire-speed feature performance, scalability, and graceful hardware and software upgrade paths. Now these chassis have been enhanced with new cooling, fabric, and power components to support an increased number of modular interfaces for even greater service density and flexibility.
