Signaling and Media Interfaces

The signaling and media interfaces provide network connectivity for signaling and media traffic. Each interface can connect to a network at 10-gigabit speeds.

Network Interface Units (NIUs) are available in the following configurations:

• 2-port 10 gigabit NIU card

The optical 10GbE cards can accept an LC fiber connector using either single mode or multimode cable.

Mixed transceiver types are not supported on SFP+-based NIUs because compliance testing shows that the NIU SFP+ ports must be populated with identical SFP+ types.
