MX480 DPC Terminology

Regardless of whether you are holding a DPC vertically or horizontally, this information uses the same terms for all four edges of the DPC (see Figure 1):

  • Faceplate—Edge of the DPC that has connectors into which you insert the SFP or XFP transceivers
  • Connector edge—Edge opposite the faceplate; this edge has the connectors that attach to the midplane
  • Top edge—Edge at the top of the DPC when it is vertical
  • Bottom edge—Edge at the bottom of the DPC when it is vertical
