The Cisco SPA-10X1GE-V2 is a high-density Shared Port Adapter (SPA), Version 2, designed to add 10 Gigabit Ethernet / 10×1GE ports in a single modular interface card. It’s part of the Cisco SPA / SIP portfolio under their Interface Flexibility (I-Flex) architecture, which allows modular interface cards to be mounted in routing platforms like Cisco 7600, 12000, XR-12000, and CRS systems.
This adapter supports 10 ports of Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) via SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) optics or copper where applicable. It offers line-rate forwarding, flexible traffic types, and standardized features such as autonegotiation, VLAN tagging (802.1Q), QinQ, jumbo frames support, and strong physical reliability.
Physically, the SPA-10X1GE-V2 is a “double height” adapter, consuming more card slot real estate. It draws moderate power and includes per-port LEDs for link status. The adapter is environmentally rated for 0-40 °C operation in standard conditions, with robust standards compliance (UL, CSA, EMC, etc.) to suit enterprise and carrier deployment.
