The BLC 6012i High Capacity Integrated and BLC 6012 High Capacity chassis each holds up to 12 BLC 6000 blades. As access nodes, these high capacity chassis can support up to 576 directly connected subscribers or 1536 GPON subscribers depending on the mix of blades used. Any BLC blade can be deployed in any slot and in any configuration. Blade self-discovery and network configuration settings are automatically loaded in the BLC 6012i chassis via OccamOS (Version 5.5 and later). The chassis are 12 RU high including fan tray and fiber management shelf and are mounted in a 23” rack.
BLC 6012i
The BLC 6012i incorporates design advancements that improve and simplify installation, reduce turn up time, and integrate Occam’s Intelligent Blade Interconnect Architecture (IBIA) connections into its backplane. The award winning chassis features an integrated Ethernet backplane and 20 1000BaseT Ethernet ports for local connections, enabling service providers to scale their networks in a simpler, more intelligent manner. It supports the delivery of 20 Gbps per slot connections when used in conjunction with 10 Gbps enabled blades.
BLC 6012
Built on Occam’s Intelligent Blade Interconnect Architecture, this chassis features 72 1000BaseT Ethernet ports that are used to create flexible backplane wiring schemes that can support a wide variety of access and media gateway applications. The blades interconnect through a connection plane that also distributes power and alarm connections to all of the slots. The BLC 6012 delivers the features of a modular chassis without the limitations of a switch fabric backplane.
