What Algorythms are the CXB MSF5000s capable of? Assuming it has the correct hardware of course.

Great, I just bought one and it will be here soon. Hopefully I can track down an xl module for a reasonable price.

Anyone know the part number for the DES-XL board?

They use the same hybrids as analog Spectras.
The crypto board by itself makes the station capable of transparently passing any of the above mentioned algorithms. You don't need a specific hybrid installed unless it's remoted by wireline and you need to encrypt and decrypt at the repeater itself.

You'll need the carrier board to interface to the SSCB and that part number is: TLN3045. And you'll also need the secure modules themselves whhich, according to the pinout on this board, should be the same style modules that was used in the old analog spectras. This style board appears to be able to hold 8 modules and keys. However this board can also be configured to be a transparent board should the need arise.
Or if system security isn't that big of a deal you could do what I've done on my old repeaters and use TLN3267 which is a transparent board that doesn't use encryption modules and will pass any Securenet algo it sees, DES, DES-XL, DVP, DVP-XL, DVI, and DVI-XL.
I have both of the carrier boards if you need either shoot me a PM.
