Cisco ASR 9001 Router Port Connection Guidelines
This section contains detailed cabling and signal information for all interface and port connections to the
RP. It also provides information for Ethernet routing and equipment.
Caution Ports labeled Ethernet, SYNC, CONSOLE, and AUX are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits. SELV
circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits.
Note In Cisco ASR 9001-S Router, two 10 GE fixed SFP+ ports (SFP+2 and SFP+3) are disabled by default,
and can be enabled by a license upgrade.
Figure 1-23 shows all the port connections on the front panel of the CiscoASR 9001 Router.
