Modular Optics Compatibility
Some SPAs implement small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers to provide network
connectivity. An SFP module is a transceiver device that mounts into the front panel to provide network
connectivity.
Cisco Systems qualifies the SFP modules that can be used with SPAs.
Note The SPAs will only accept the SFP modules listed as supported in this document. An SFP check is run
every time an SFP module is inserted into a SPA, and only SFP modules that pass this check will be usable.
Table 1-7 shows the types of optics modules that have been qualified for use with a SPA.
