Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page25Fan Filtering
Unit Background: The low-frequency noise (20 Hz to 20 KHz)
generated during the running of the fans can be transmitted through
power supply cables, which interferes with the low
frequency-sensitive analog devices sharing power supply with the
fans, such as voice switches and the devices on the access network.
Function: The low frequency filtering unit suppresses the low
frequency noise through audio filtering circuits, which prevents
the impact of low frequency noise. Criteria: ENSI EN 300 132: is
released by the Environment Engineering (EE) division of the ETSI
and provides a series of rules for the features of power input
interfaces. NEBS GR-1089-Core: Section 10.7 of Chapter 10 "Criteria
for DC Power Port of Telecommunications Load Equipment" in the
fourth edition of NEBS GR-1089-Core, published in June 2006, lists
the requirements for low frequency interference emission. These
requirements were upgraded to the "R" level requirements, which
must be fulfilled, in June 2007. ITU-T K.76: lists the requirements
of the low frequency emission test in detail, which is similar to

Page43Calculation of the Backplane Capacity NE80E-16: 4 Tbps 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. NE40E-8: 2Tbps 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.23Copyright 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights

NE40E-X16: 30 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)
NE40E-X815 Tbps 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-X31.35 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. Copyright 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights

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

The bandwidth of a SerDes link is 3.125 Gbps. Each pair of SerDes

switching capacity is: 32 x 16 x 3.125 x (8B/10B) x 2 = 2.56 Tbps
NE40E-X8: 1.44Tbps Each of the eight slots provides 36 pairs of
SerDes links. At present, 36 pairs of the total 72 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 8 x 3.125 x (8B/10B) x 2 =
1.44 Tbps 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
