Cisco 1-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Shared Port Adapter, Version 2

®
The Cisco Interface Flexibility (I-Flex) design combines shared port adapters (SPAs) and SPA interface
processors (SIPs), taking advantage of an extensible design that facilitates service prioritization for voice,
video, and data services. Enterprise and service provider customers can take advantage of improved slot
®
economics resulting from modular port adapters that are interchangeable across Cisco Systems routing
platforms. The Cisco I-Flex design maximizes connectivity options and offers superior service intelligence
through programmable interface processors that deliver line-rate performance. Cisco I-Flex enhances
speed-to-service revenue and provides a rich set of quality-of-service (QoS) features for premium service
delivery while effectively reducing the overall cost of ownership. This data sheet contains the
specifications for the Cisco 1-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Shared Port Adapter, Version 2 (Cisco 1-Port 10-
GE SPA; Figure 1 shows a SIP with 10 Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable [XFP] optics).

Product Overview
The Cisco 1-Port 10-GE SPA is available on high-end Cisco routing platforms, offering the benefits of network
scalability with lower initial costs and ease of upgrades. The Cisco SPA/SIP portfolio continues the company's focus
on investment protection along with consistent feature support, broad interface availability, and the latest technology.
The Cisco SPA/SIP portfolio allows deployment of different interfaces (packet over SONET/SDH [POS], ATM,
Ethernet, etc.) on the same interface processor.

Within a central office or data center or in a metropolitan-area network (MAN), 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are
commonly used to interconnect routers or other devices. The Cisco 1-Port 10-GE SPA meets customers' needs for
various applications. With this SPA, users can mix and match SPA ports with other types of interfaces in the same
slot. The Cisco 1-Port 10-GE SPA is IEEE 802.3ae standards-based for compatibility and interoperability.

Applications
The Cisco 1-Port 10-GE SPAs can be used in any combination of the following applications:

● Residential Triple Play

● Metro Ethernet Services
● Converged Residential and Business Services
● Internet Peering
● Inter- and intra-point of presence (POP) Aggregation

Key Features and Benefits

The Cisco SPA/SIP portfolio offers many advantages, including the following:

● Modular, flexible, intelligent interface processors

◦ Flexible design allows mixing and matching of interface types on the same interface processor for
consistent services, independent of access technology.
◦ Programmable interface processors provide flexibility for the service diversity required in next-generation
networks.
◦ Innovative design provides intelligent delivery of services without compromising performance.
● Increased speed-to-service revenue
◦ The programmable Cisco architecture extended to 10 Gigabits per second dramatically improves customer
density, increasing potential revenue per platform and facilitating compatibility with future versions.
◦ Interface breadth (copper, channelized, POS, ATM, and Ethernet) on a modular interface processor allows
service providers to quickly roll out new services, facilitating consistent, secure services for all customers,
large and small.
◦ XFP interfaces are featured for high-port-count applications with reach flexibility. Future optical technology
improvements can be adopted using existing SPAs.
● Dramatically improved financials for your routing purchase
◦ Improved slot economics and increased density reduce capital expenditures (CapEx).
◦ The ability to easily add new interfaces as they are needed facilitates a "pay-as-you-grow" business model
while still offering a high-density solution.
◦ SPAs are shared across multiple platforms and can be easily moved from one to another, providing
consistent feature support, accelerated product delivery, and a significant reduction in operating expenses
(OpEx) through common sparing as service needs change.

Feature Description

Port Density per SPA One 10 Gigabit Ethernet port

Physical Interface 10-Gbps XFP optics

LED Indicators SPA status-Bicolor green and amber LEDs encode the SPA status as follows:
● LED off-SPA is powered off
● LED amber-SPA is powered on and initializing
● LED green-SPA is powered on and operational
In addition to the status LED, the SPAs also have a bicolor LED dedicated to each port to indicate port status. The
green and amber LEDs encode the port status as follows:
● LED off-Port is not activated by software
● LED amber-Port is activated by software, but there is a problem with the Ethernet link
● LED green-Port is activated by software, and there is a valid Ethernet link
