Overview
The Cisco 8804-FC0 is the switch fabric card for the Cisco 8804 chassis. It supplies the high bandwidth switching capacity required to interconnect the line cards installed in the chassis. The 8804-FC0 utilizes the latest Cisco Silicon One Q200 ASICs to provide up to 115.2 Tbps of total switching capacity when the 8804 chassis is fully populated.
The Cisco 8804-FC0 chassis can support up to 4 line cards. It uses 4 fabric cards in a 4+1 redundant configuration to deliver enough bandwidth for all ports on the line cards to forward traffic at line rate speeds concurrently. The fabric cards are hot swappable and redundant to ensure maximum uptime.
