8-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet Modular Port AdapterThe 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet modular port adapter provides eight cages for SFP+ Ethernet optical
interface modules that operate at a rate of 10-Gbps.
The 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet modular port adapter has the following guidelines and limitations:
• The 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet modular port adapter is supported on the 160-Gigabyte Modular
Line Card only (A9K-MOD160-TR and A9K-MOD160-SE).
• The 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet modular port adapter is not supported on the 80-Gigabyte Modular
Line Card (A9K-MOD80-TR and A9K-MOD80-SE).
• The 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet modular port adapter is not supported on the Cisco ASR 9001
Router.
Each SFP+ cage on the 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet modular port adapter has an adjacent A/L
(Active/Link) LED visible on the front panel. The A/L (Active/Link) LED indicates the status of the
associated SFP+ port.
Figure 2-36 shows an example of the 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet MPA.
