The uBR7225VXR can support up to 5,000 subscribers. It is optimally designed for any cable operator requiring a modular and higher-density cable modem termination system while not requiring the high density of the uBR10012 or the form factor of the uBR7246VXR. In addition,the uBR225VXR is highly suitable for emerging markets and tier 2/3 cable network operators. It is a standards-based platform providing support for DOCSIS,Euro-DOCSIS 2.0,and PacketCable 1.1 technology. The uBR7225VXR is compatible with two new cable line cards,the Cisco uBR-E-28U and uBR-E-16U Broadband Processing Engine,to provide a maximum of 16 upstream and 4 downstream ports in a two-rack-unit form factor. Customers who have the Cisco uBR-MC16U or uBR-MC28U line card can also reuse them in the Cisco uBR7225VXR chassis.
