line card
(redirected from Line-card)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
line card
A printed circuit board that provides a transmitting/receiving port for a particular wide area network (WAN) or local area network (LAN) protocol. Line cards plug into telephone company switches and high-end routers. A line card implies that the unit has a modular chassis that can be expanded by adding more cards and/or that it supports multiple network protocols. Small and medium-size routers have a fixed number of ports, typically Ethernet, and the line card circuitry is built into each port.

In a user's desktop or laptop computer, the counterpart of the line card is the network adapter (see network adapter).
