A99-SFC3
ASR 9900 Series Switch Fabric Card 3
The Cisco A99-SFC3 provides 600Gbps non-blocking switching capacity and N+1 redundancy for the ASR 9900 series core routers.
A99-SFC3 Overview
The Cisco A99-SFC3 is the latest generation switch fabric card for the Cisco ASR 9900 series routers. As the heart of the system, it provides a high-performance switching fabric to interconnect all the router line cards and enable non-blocking, low-latency packet forwarding.
The Cisco A99-SFC3 utilizes a distributed, redundant switch fabric architecture that can scale up to 7 fabric cards for load balancing and no single point of failure. Each card delivers 600Gbps throughput using advanced features like Virtual Output Queueing (VOQ) to efficiently manage traffic flows.
With the ability to support the latest 400GbE and 100GbE line cards, the A99-SFC3 provides investment protection and seamless upgradability. It is designed for always-on critical networks that require carrier-grade resiliency and continuous operation.
