Hi,

Can ASR9001's built in ports support 10Gig connection using Twinax Cables:

SFP-H10GB-CU3M, 5M, 7M and 10M?

Thanks!

We only support the active cable ACU not the CU (passive) cables.

Support came in 5.1.1

Thanks,

Hi smiltea,

Thanks for this info.

so that means I can use the ff:

0GBASE-CU SFP+ Cable 7 Meter, active	SFP-H10GB-ACU7M
10GBASE-CU SFP+ Cable 10 Meter, active	SFP-H10GB-ACU10M
10GBASE-AOC SFP+ Cable 1 Meter	SFP-10G-AOC1M
10GBASE-AOC SFP+ Cable 2 Meter	SFP-10G-AOC2M
10GBASE-AOC SFP+ Cable 3 Meter	SFP-10G-AOC3M
10GBASE-AOC SFP+ Cable 5 Meter	SFP-10G-AOC5M
10GBASE-AOC SFP+ Cable 7 Meter	SFP-10G-AOC7M
10GBASE-AOC SFP+ Cable 10 Meter	SFP-10G-AOC10M

Provided that the facing equipment supports them as well (example 3560-X with 10G module).

Thanks!

Hi Sam,

what about Cisco SFP-10G-AOC2M - Active Optical Cable assembly?

This one is also active.

I have found it here:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/interfaces-modules/transceiver-modules/data_sheet_c78-455693.html

That variant is not supported.

Thanks,

Sam
