Product Features
Technical Overview
This interface module supports both Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet technologies, implementing 1000Base-X and 10GBase-X standards for optical fiber networks. The eight SFP ports accept standard SFP (mini-GBIC) transceivers, while the single 10GE port uses SFP+ technology, providing flexibility in transceiver selection based on distance, wavelength, and fiber type requirements.
With optical fiber media support, the module delivers durable performance with minimal signal loss, enabling data transfers over greater distances compared to copper alternatives. The 1000Base-X technology provides up to 1000Mbps data transfer rates, while the 10GBase-X implementation offers up to 10x faster performance than standard Ethernet connections for high-bandwidth applications.

FAQ
What routers is this interface module compatible with?
This Cisco A900-IMA8S1Z-RF interface module is specifically designed for and compatible with Cisco ASR 900 Series Aggregation Services Routers. It provides expansion connectivity for these enterprise-grade routing platforms, enabling network administrators to add additional SFP and 10GE ports to their existing ASR 900 Series infrastructure.
What types of network connections does this module support?
The module supports optical fiber connections through its eight SFP ports and one SFP+ port. It implements both Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-X) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-X) technologies, making it suitable for mixed-speed network environments. The optical fiber media support ensures reliable performance with minimal signal loss over greater distances compared to copper alternatives.
What is the difference between the SFP and 10GE ports on this module?
The module features eight SFP ports that support Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) connections using 1000Base-X technology, providing up to 1000Mbps data transfer rates. The single 10GE port uses SFP+ technology and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connections using 10GBase-X technology, offering approximately 10x faster performance than standard Ethernet for high-bandwidth applications requiring greater throughput.
What does 'refurbished' condition mean for this product?
This interface module is in refurbished condition, meaning it has been previously used but has undergone thorough testing, inspection, and reconditioning to ensure it meets functional specifications. Refurbished products offer significant cost savings compared to new equipment while providing reliable performance, making them an excellent value for network expansion projects with budget considerations.
