Description

The Cisco GSR10-CSC is a critical switch fabric component. It is designed for the Cisco 12000 Series Gigabit Switch Routers (GSR).

This module functions as a Clock Scheduler Card (CSC). It provides system timing, synchronization, and scheduling for the router’s switch fabric.

In the Cisco 12410 router, the switch fabric requires two CSC modules:

• One active CSC for operation
• One standby CSC for redundancy

The GSR10-CSC is part of a high-capacity switching system. It supports up to 200 Gbps switching fabric bandwidth, ensuring efficient packet forwarding in core networks.

This card plays a key role in:

• Synchronizing data flow across line cards
• Managing traffic scheduling within the switch fabric
• Maintaining system stability and performance

The module is typically used in carrier-grade environments, including:

• ISP core networks
• Large enterprise backbone infrastructure
• High-capacity routing deployments

⚠️ Note: The Cisco 12000 series (including this module) is End-of-Life (EOL) and mainly available in refurbished markets today.
