Basic Specification of NE40E-X3

Router
There are five slots in total, including two MPU (two 1:1 backup
MPUs) slots and three LPU slots.
The capacity supported by each slot is 20 Gbit/s and even 40
Gbit/s after later expansion.
The NE40E-X3 is compatible with all LPUs of the NE40E and shares
the software platform with the NE40E.
The MPU is integrated with Stratum-3 clocks and supports the
1588v2 features.
Power supply modules and fan frames support 1+1 backup.

With the Fullmesh structure, no switched SFU is required.
With an excellent expandability, the structure supports

7021 LPUF-10/LPUF-20 link card and later mainstream link
cards.
The structure supports 20G->40G->80G compatibility

scheme. At present, the mainstream delivery is 20 Gbit/s
line cards.

alarm signals from the chassis or equipment room.
Detection of the ambient temperature :Supports the
connection to the temperature sensor through the panel to detect
the temperature of the chassis or equipment room.
Access control management :Detects whether access control
is enabled through magnetic inspection and reports the inspection
signal to the device. The remote unlocking function is reserved.
You can instruct the CMU to enable or disable access control
through the remote control function.
Device alarm output :The CMU provides two-level alarm
output signals.
Main contact point inspection :The CMU can provide six main
contact points to detect signal input and monitor whether the
devices outside the chassis work normally.
One 232 and 485 serial interface :Provides an RS-232 serial
interface, which is connected to the panel. You can use it to query
or locate information about the CMU. In addition, the CMU provides
an R-485 serial port, which is connected to the panel. You can
connect an device to this interface. The interface supports fullduplex mode.

Calculation of the Backplane

Capacity
NE80E-16: 4 Tbps
NE40E-8: 2Tbps
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.
The device provides eight slots, and the backplane capacity is 40 x

8 x 3.125 Gbps x 2 = 2 Tbps.
NE40E-4: 1 Tbps
The device provides four slots, and the backplane capacity is 40 x

4 x 3.125 x 2 Gbps = 1 Tbps.

Page44
Calculation of the Backplane Capacity

(Cont.)
NE40E-X16: 30 Tbps
NE40E-X8 15 Tbps
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)
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)
NE40E-X3 1.35 Tbps
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.

Calculation of the Switching

Capacity
NE80E-16: 2.56Tbps
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
NE40E-8: 640Gbps
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 (8B/10B) x 2 = 640 Gbps
NE40E-4: 320Gbps
The types and numbers of the SRUs and SFUs used on the NE40E-4 are the
same as that of the SRUs and SFUs used on the NE40E-8. Hence, the capacity
of the SFUs on the NE40E-4 can be up to 640 Gbps. The NE40E-4 provides only
four slots. Hence, the witching capacity is: 16 x 4 x 3.125 x (8B/10B) x 2 = 320
Gbps

Calculation of the Switching Capacity
(Cont.)
NE40E-X16: 2.56Tbps
NE40E-X8: 1.44Tbps
Each of the 16 slots provides 32 pairs of SerDes links. At present, 32 pairs of

Each of the eight slots provides 36 pairs of SerDes links. At present, 36 pairs of
NE40E-X3: 1.08Tbps
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
data transmission. The NE40E-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
