AS9216 ports, power supply units, and fans are placed on the device’s front
panel, to ensure an easy maintenance access to these components.
The Panel Ports
16 SFP Sockets (#1/1/1–1/1/16) dual rate support 100Base-Fx/1000Base-X
(SFP)
The device provides 16 ports for dual rate support of Fast Ethernet or Gigabit
Ethernet SFP compliant fiber-optic transceivers. You can use each fiber port
for a direct connection to a subscriber’s Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)
or as a downlink to another aggregation node.
Each port supports auto-negotiation of flow control, automatically preventing
port buffers from becoming saturated.
You can restrict each port’s bandwidth by rate-limiting, in order to support
differentiated service fees.
N
OTE
: The SFP sockets comply with Multi-Source
Agreement (MSA) standard, however ECI Telecom
guarantees the proper functionality of SFP transceivers that
were tested and approved by ECI Telecom only.
To verify the use of a specific SFP transceiver, contact ECI
Telecom Technical Support.
8 Dual Ports (#1/2/1–1/2/8) rate support 10/100/1000Base-T or 100Base-
Fx/1000Base-X (RJ45 ports/SFP Sockets)
4 10-GbE MPLS enhanced sockets (#1/3/1–1/3/2, 1/4/1–1/4/2, XFP)
The device provides four ports for 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP compliant fiber-
optic transceivers. These fiber ports are designed to serve as an uplink
connection to the central office or a downlink to another aggregation node.
The transceivers support the following cable lengths:
10GBASE-SR transceivers support short-haul connections of up to 300
meters
10GBASE-LR transceivers support a connection of 10 kilometers
10GBASE-ER transceivers support a connection of 40 kilometers
