Cisco SPA-10X1GE-V2 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet Shared Port Adapter

The Cisco SPA-10X1GE-V2 is a high-density 10-port Gigabit Ethernet Shared Port Adapter (SPA), Version 2, designed for compatible Cisco routing platforms and service-provider networking environments. It provides up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a modular interface architecture, helping organizations expand network connectivity without replacing their existing chassis infrastructure.

The SPA-10X1GE-V2 supports a range of Cisco Gigabit Ethernet SFP interfaces, including SX, LX/LH, ZX, and 1000BASE-T copper SFPs, providing flexibility for both fiber-optic and copper network deployments. Compatible optical configurations can support distances from approximately 550 meters with SX optics up to 70 km with ZX optics, depending on the installed SFP.
