Installing SFP Modules in

Cisco 3800 Series Routers

This document describes how to install optional small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules in

Cisco 3800 series integrated services routers to provide optical Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It contains the following sections:

•Installing SFP Modules, page 70

•Removing SFP Modules, page 71

The SFP module installs into a slot on the router’s rear panel. When selected in Cisco IOS software, it is assigned port gigabitethernet 0/0. The default is for the built-in RJ-45 1000Base-T connector to be active on this port.

Only SFP modules certified by Cisco are supported on Cisco 3800 series routers. Table 6 lists supported SFPs.

GLC-SX-MM=		1000Base-SX	50	850	Multi	550 m
GLC-LH-SM=		1000Base-LX/LH	9/125	1310	Single	10 km
GLC-ZX-SM=		1000Base-ZX	9/125	1550	Single	100 km
CWDM-SFP-1470=		1000Base-CWDM	50	1470	Single	100 km
CWDM-SFP-1490=				1490
CWDM-SFP-1510=				1510
CWDM-SFP-1530=				1530
CWDM-SFP-1550=				1550
CWDM-SFP-1570=				1570
CWDM-SFP-1590=				1590
CWDM-SFP-1610=				1610

Tip Use the show controller command at the Cisco IOS prompt to determine whether you are using an SFP certified by Cisco.
