The Cisco 2-, 5-, 8-, and 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet SPAs are 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.

Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are commonly used for interconnecting routers or other devices within a central office or data center or in a metropolitan-area network (MAN). Cisco offers an extensive variety of 1000BASE-X Gigabit Ethernet SPAs to meet customers' needs for various applications. With Cisco Gigabit Ethernet SPAs, you can mix-and-match SPA ports with other types of interfaces in the same slot. Each SPA provides standards-based Gigabit Ethernet implementation for compatibility and interoperability.

In addition to the two Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)-based Gigabit Ethernet ports, two additional built-in RJ-45 ports are provided on the 2-port Gigabit Ethernet SPA, Version 2. A combination of these Gigabit Ethernet ports is permitted, limited to a total of 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports (both copper, both optical, or one copper and one optical).

Applications

The Cisco Gigabit Ethernet SPAs can be used in multiple applications, including:

• Inter- and intra-point of presence (POP) aggregation

• Residential triple play (data, voice, and video)

• Metro Ethernet services

• Converged residential and business services

• Internet peering

Key Features and Benefits

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

• Industry's most modular, flexible, intelligent interface processors:

– Unmatched flexibility, providing mix-and-match capability of interface types on the same interface processor for consistent services, independent of access technology

– Pioneering programmable interface processors that provide flexibility for the service diversity required in next-generation networks

– Innovative design that provides intelligent delivery of services without compromising on performance

• Increased speed-to-service revenue:

– The future-proof programmable Cisco architecture extended to 10 Gbps dramatically improves customer density, increasing potential revenue per platform.

– Interface breadth (copper, channelized, PoS, ATM, and Ethernet) on a modular interface processor allows service providers to more quickly roll out new services, helping ensure that all customers receive consistent, secure, and guaranteed services.

– High-density SFP interfaces are featured for high-port-count applications with reach flexibility. Future optical technology improvements can be adopted using existing SPAs.

• Dramatically improved financials of your routing purchase:

– Improved slot economics and increased density reduce capital expenditures (CapEx).

– The ability to easily add new interfaces as they are needed helps enable 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.
