Quad Gigabit Ethernet Line Card (QGLC)
The QGLC is a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet line card that installs directly behind its associated packet processing card to
provide network connectivity to the packet data network. There are several different versions of Small Form-factor
Pluggable (SFP) modules available for the QGLC.

Important:
This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class 1 laser devices for
IEC825, EN60825, and 21CFR1040 specifications.
The QGLC supports the Star Channel (1 Gbps) for faster FPGA upgrades and is Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS) 6/6 compliant.
Install QGLCs in chassis slots 17 through 23, 26 through 39, and 42 through 48. Always install these cards directly
behind their respective packet processing cards. They are not required behind any redundant packet processing cards
(those operating in Standby mode).
