FAQ
What routers is this interface module compatible with?
This interface module is specifically designed for and compatible with Cisco ASR 900 Series Aggregation Services Routers. It integrates directly into these routers to expand their connectivity options with two additional 10GbE ports. The module is not compatible with other Cisco router series or non-Cisco equipment.
What types of transceivers does this module support?
The module supports both SFP+ and XFP form factor transceivers in its two expansion slots. This flexibility allows network administrators to choose the most appropriate optical transceivers for their specific distance, wavelength, and budget requirements. You can use either SFP+ or XFP transceivers in either port, depending on your network design needs.
What network speed and technology does this module provide?
This interface module provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity using 10GBase-X network technology. Each of the two ports supports data transfer rates up to 10Gbps when used with compatible optical transceivers and fiber cables. The 10GBase-X standard ensures interoperability with other 10GbE equipment in your network infrastructure.
What type of network media does this module require?
This interface module is designed for use with optical fiber media. It requires compatible SFP+ or XFP optical transceivers that connect to fiber optic cables. The module itself does not include transceivers or cables—these must be purchased separately based on your specific distance and fiber type requirements.
