Cables, Connectors, and Pinouts
The interface connectors on the SPA-2GE-7304 are two individual RJ-45 receptacles and two fiber optic receivers that support SFPs. It is import to note that the SPA-2GE-7304 can only send and receive traffic from two ports, port 0 and port 1. Each port can send and receive traffic using either the RJ-45 port or the optical fiber connection.
The following sections describe the cable, connection, and pinout requirements for the SPA-2GE-7304:
RJ-45 Connectors
The SPA-2GE-7304 router has two RJ-45 ports for 10/100/1000 Ethernet/FastEthernet/GigabitEthernet connections. The RJ-45 ports support IEEE 802.3ab (Gigabit Ethernet) and IEEE 802.3u (Fast Ethernet) interfaces compliant with 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T specifications.
The RJ-45 ports support standard straight-through and crossover Category 5 UTP cables with RJ-45 connectors. Cisco Systems does not supply Category 5 UTP cables; these cables are available commercially.

SFP Connections
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module is an input/output (I/O) device that plugs into the Gigabit Ethernet optical slot on the SPA-2GE-7304, linking the port with a 1000BASE-X fiber-optic network. An SFP module is shown in Figure 3-7.
Note
SFP modules exist for technologies other than Gigabit Ethernet and for products other than the SPA-2GE-7304. However, the information in this document pertains only to SFP modules that plug into the SPA-2GE-7304 fiber-optic ports.Figure 3-7 SFP Module
The SFP module has a receiver port (RX) and a transmitter port (TX) that compose one optical interface. Table 3-6, Table 3-7, and Table 3-8 provide SFP module information and specifications.

SFP-FCGE-S Modules
The 1000BASE-SX (short wavelength) module operates on standard multimode fiber-optic link spans of up to 1804 feet (550 m). (See Table 3-9.)
SFP-FCGE-L Modules
The 1000BASE-LX/LH (long wavelength/long haul) module interfaces fully comply with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX standard. However, their higher optical quality allows them to reach 6.2 miles (10 km) over single-mode fiber (SMF) versus the 3.1 miles (5 km) specified in the standard. (See Table 3-9.)
SFP-GE-Z Modules
The 1000BASE-ZX (extended wavelength) module operates on ordinary single-mode fiber-optic link spans of up to 43.5 miles (70 km). Link spans of up to 62.1 miles (100 km) are possible using premium single-mode fiber or dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber (premium single-mode fiber has a lower attenuation per unit length than ordinary single-mode fiber; dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber has both lower attenuation and less dispersion).
The 1000BASE-ZX module must be coupled to single-mode fiber-optic cable, which is the type of cable typically used in long-haul telecommunications applications. The 1000BASE-ZX module will not operate correctly when coupled to multimode fiber, and it is not intended to be used in environments where multimode fiber is frequently used (for example, building backbones, or horizontal cabling).
The 1000BASE-ZX module is intended to be used as a Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) component for Gigabit Ethernet interfaces found on various switch and router products. It operates at a signaling rate of 1250 Mbaud, transmitting and receiving 8B/10B encoded data.
When shorter lengths of single-mode fiber are used, it may be necessary to insert an in-line optical attenuator in the link to avoid overloading the receiver.

SFP Module Cabling and Connection Equipment
Table 3-9 provides cabling specifications for the SFP modules that can be installed on the SPA-2GE-7304. Note that all SFP ports have LC-type connectors.
The minimum cable distance for the SFP-FCGE-S is 6.5 feet (2 m), and the minimum link distance for the SFP-GE-Z is 6.2 miles (10 km) with an 8-dB attenuator installed at each end of the link. Without attenuators, the minimum link distance for the SFP-GE-Z is 24.9 miles (40 km).

2 A mode-conditioning patch cord is required.
When using the SFP-FCGE-L with 62.5-micron diameter MMF, you must install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP module and the MMF cable on both the transmit and the receive ends of the link when link distances are greater than 984 ft (300 m).
We do not recommend using the SFP-FCGE-L and MMF with no patch cord for very short link distance (tens of meters). The result could be an elevated bit error rate (BER).3 Dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber-optic cable.
Note
CWDM SFPs
CWDM SFPs were first supported on the SPA-2GE-7304 in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(28)SB. CWDM SFPs for the SPA-2GE-7304 come in eight wavelengths that range from 1470 nm to 1610 nm. Color markings on the devices identify the wavelength to which the Gigabit Ethernet channel is mapped. Table 3-10 lists the CWDM SFPs with their wavelengths and color codes that are supported on the SPA-2GE-7304.
Table 3-10 CWDM SFP Wavelengths and Color Coding
For more detailed information on these CWDM SFP modules, see the Cisco CWDM GBIC and SFP Solution Data Sheet.
