ACX7332 Chassis

SUMMARY Learn about the ACX7332 router chassis, the field replaceable units (FRUs), and their physical specifications.

ACX7332 Chassis Description

The router chassis is a rigid sheet metal structure that houses all the router components. The ACX7332 router has a fixed Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC), dual Routing Engines, three bays for pluggable modules, redundant power supply modules (AC or DC), and four fan trays (two fans per tray).

Figure 1 shows the front of the chassis configured with two Routing Engines. The chassis measures 5.21 in. (13.23 cm) high, 16.92 in. (42.97 cm) wide, and 11.41 in. (28.98 cm) deep. The chassis installs in a standard 800-mm-deep open rack, 19-in. equipment racks, or telco open-frame racks. For more information about the physical specifications of the router and its components, see Table 4.

Fixed FPC

The ACX7332 router has a fixed flexible PIC concentrators (FPC) that has 32 SFP28 ports with MACsec capabilities and 8 QSFP28 ports. Table 1 shows the port speeds supported on the fixed FPC.

Here's a definition of the ports and labels on the timing interface ports. See Table 3 for a description of the timing ports LED indicators.

  • GNSS antenna port—Connects to a GNSS antenna.
  • BITS—Building-integrated timing supply (BITS) external clocking interface for connecting to external clocking devices.

  • 10MHz—10-MHz input and output clocking port for connecting to external clock signal sources. The clocking port synchronizes clock inputs based on the clock’s priority.

  • PPS—1-pulse per second (PPS) output connector for connecting to external clock signal sources. The clocking port synchronizes clock inputs based on the clock’s priority.
