Caution To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card (HWIC-1GE-SFP) only to intra-building
or non-exposed wiring or cabling. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be
grounded at both ends.
Note The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card itself is not hot-swappable. Removal or
insertion of the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card requires powering down the
router.
The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card supports the SFPs shown in Table 34.
Note Only Cisco-certified SFPs are supported on the Cisco Gigabit Ethernet high-speed WAN interface card.
Tip When switching from one type of SFP to another, connection problems, including connection failure,
may result. Use the show controller command at the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) to
determine whether you are using an SFP certified by Cisco.
Different SFPs have different cabling requirements; see the “Cabling for Small Form-Factor Pluggable
Modules” section on page 6 for more information on SFP cabling.
