Chapter 10 1-Port Gigabit Ethernet Half-Height Line Card Overview
Software and Hardware Compatibility
The line card uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module that supports a variety of Gigabit
Ethernet interface types (SX, LX/LH, ZX, BASET, and CWDM), which you can change or upgrade at
any time.
For more information about Coarse Wave Division Multiplexer (CWDM) Small Form-Factor Pluggable
(SFP) laser optical transceiver modules, see the Cisco CWDM GBIC and CWDM SFP Installation Note

Note Only SFP modules purchased from Cisco work with the Gigabit Ethernet line card software.
Note For the longwave 1470 nm laser SFP module (CWDM-SFP-1470=), use a long reach single-mode cable
or an attenuator with a short reach cable.

Software and Hardware Compatibility
To check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software for the hardware installed on your
router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. This tool does not verify whether line
cards within a system are compatible, but provides the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for individual
hardware line cards, modules, or options.
Note Access to this tool is limited to users with Cisco.com login accounts.
To access Software Advisor, go to Cisco.com and click Login, type Software Advisor in the Search box,
and click Go. Click the link for the Software Advisor tool.
