Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cisco ASA-IC-6GE-SFP-A interface card compatible with?
The ASA-IC-6GE-SFP-A is an interface card designed for the Cisco ASA 5512-X and 5515-X Adaptive Security Appliances. This 6-port Gigabit Ethernet SFP module supports optical transceivers including SX, LH, and LX variants, enabling flexible fiber connectivity options for your security infrastructure. Contact us today to verify compatibility with your specific ASA model.
What types of SFP transceivers does this Cisco interface card support?
The ASA-IC-6GE-SFP-A supports Gigabit Ethernet optical SFP transceivers in SX (short-range multimode), LH (long-range single-mode), and LX (long-range multimode) configurations. These options allow you to choose the appropriate transceiver based on your network's distance requirements and existing fiber infrastructure. We offer compatibility guidance—visit barcodesinc.com or contact our team for transceiver recommendations.
Is the ASA-IC-6GE-SFP-A a spare part or standalone product?
The ASA-IC-6GE-SFP-A is a spare interface card designed as a replacement or expansion module for existing Cisco ASA 5512-X and 5515-X deployments. It functions as a modular component within the Cisco ASA 5500 Series architecture, allowing you to upgrade or replace interface capabilities without replacing the entire appliance. Available from us as an OEM spare part for system maintenance and upgrades.
What are the environmental operating specifications for this interface card?
The ASA-IC-6GE-SFP-A operates reliably in temperatures ranging from 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C) with relative humidity between 5 to 95 percent noncondensing. The card has a maximum power consumption of 25W and physical dimensions of 1.70 x 6.80 x 12.25 inches, making it suitable for standard rack-mounted security appliance deployments. These specifications ensure stable operation in typical data center environments.
How does the 6-port GE SFP card enhance Cisco ASA security appliances?
The ASA-IC-6GE-SFP-A expands the port density and connectivity options of your Cisco ASA 5512-X or 5515-X, enabling multi-gigabit fiber connections for high-throughput security processing. By supporting optical SFP transceivers, this card reduces electromagnetic interference and allows longer-distance connections compared to copper Ethernet, making it ideal for large enterprise networks requiring comprehensive threat defense. The modular design lets you scale your security infrastructure without replacing core appliances.
What regulatory and safety standards does this Cisco interface card meet?
The ASA-IC-6GE-SFP-A complies with industry safety standards including UL 1950, CSA C22.2 No. 950, EN 60950, and IEC 60950, as well as electromagnetic compatibility requirements such as CE marking, FCC Part 15 Class A, and EN55022 Class A. These certifications ensure the card meets international regulatory requirements for data center and enterprise network deployments.
