Modular Optics
The SPAs implement 10 GBE small form-factor pluggable (XFP) optical transceivers to provide network
connectivity (See Figure 2-5). An XFP module is a transceiver device that mounts into the front panel to
provide network connectivity.
Note It is highly recommended to use only the XFP modules listed as supported in this document. Use of
unsupported or unqualified XFP modules may affect reliability or operation.

The interface connector on the 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SPA is a fiber optic receiver that supports one
XFP.
The types of optics modules that have been qualified for use with the 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SPA on
the Cisco SCE 8000 platform are as follows:
• XFP-10GLR-OC192SR
• XFP-10GER-OC192IR
• XFP-10GZR-OC192LR
• XFP-10G-MM-SR
