The Cisco SPA-10X1GE-V2 is a high-density Shared Port Adapter (SPA), Version 2, designed to add 10 Gigabit Ethernet / 10×1GE ports in a single modular interface card. It’s part of the Cisco SPA / SIP portfolio under their Interface Flexibility (I-Flex) architecture, which allows modular interface cards to be mounted in routing platforms like Cisco 7600, 12000, XR-12000, and CRS systems. This adapter supports 10 ports of Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) via SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) optics or copper where applicable. It offers line-rate forwarding, flexible traffic types, and standardized features such as autonegotiation, VLAN tagging (802.1Q), QinQ, jumbo frames support, and strong physical reliability. Physically, the SPA-10X1GE-V2 is a “double height” adapter, consuming more card slot real estate. It draws moderate power and includes per-port LEDs for link status. The adapter is environmentally rated for 0-40 °C operation in standard conditions, with robust standards compliance (UL, CSA, EMC, etc.) to suit enterprise and carrier deployment. Key Features & Benefits 10 × 1 Gbps Ethernet ports (SFP / or copper) in one shared port adapter. SPA / SIP modular design allows flexible deployment across multiple Cisco routing platforms. Supports VLANs (802.1Q), QinQ, jumbo frames, autonegotiation, and full-duplex operation. Per-port link status LEDs and shared status LED for overall adapter health. Physical compatibility: double-height card, and weight / dimensions suited for enterprise router line cards. Compliance with safety, EMC, and environmental standards: UL, CSA, IEC, etc. Technical Specifications Specification Detail Model / Part Number SPA-10X1GE-V2 Port Density 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (1 Gbps each) Interface Type SFP (optical) or compatible copper, depending on port / module installed Supported Features Autonegotiation, Full Duplex, VLAN tagging (802.1Q), QinQ, Jumbo Frames LED Indicators Per port link status; overall SPA status LED (green/amber) Compatible Platforms Cisco 7600, 12000, XR-12000, CRS Carrier Routing System Physical Dimensions Double height; ~1.4 in (3.55 cm) height; width ~6.75 in (17.15 cm); depth ~7.28 in (18.49 cm) Weight ≈ 1.5 lb (≈ 0.68 kg) Operating Temperature 0-40 °C nominal; up to 55 °C short term Storage Temperature -40 to 70 °C Power Consumption ≈ 25 W under typical load Compliance / Certifications UL, CSA, IEC/EN 60950-1; EMC standards; etc. See all Networking Available
