About the Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch
Other chassis features include:
• Front panel serviceability—for no downtime on RF interfaces. All active modules can be replaced
from the front panel.
• 10BASE-T Ethernet interface over which you can control the configuration and operation of the
Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch by means of SNMP from a Cisco universal broadband router.
• Upstream and downstream assembly online insertion and removal (OIR) or “hot swapping”
capability.
• CLEI codes for all replaceable modules.
• Rack-mountable—Each unit can be rack-mounted into any rack or cabinet that is designed per
EIA-310 or MIL-STD-189 using the supplied rack-mount brackets.
The Ethernet controller, power supply, upstream modules, and downstream modules are accessed from
the front of the chassis. (See Figure 1-1.)
