The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, users are encouraged to try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Cisco ASR 920 Series Aggregation Services
Router Overview
The Cisco ASR 920 Series Aggregation Services Router is a family of fixed configuration routers that
enables Service Providers to provide business, residential, and mobile access services to their users. It
is the Carrier Ethernet access platform providing Ethernet services.
The Cisco ASR 920 routers complement and extend Cisco’s current and planned Carrier Ethernet routing
portfolio providing a cost optimized, and extended temperature range access platform.
The Cisco ASR 920 routers do not have high availability features.
Cisco ASR 920 Router Features
The Cisco ASR 920 family of routers includes:
• ASR 920-Indoor version [ASR-920-12CZ-A/ASR-920-12CZ-D]—This sub-family has fixed ENET
interfaces (12 x 1GE + 2 x 10GE or 2 x 1GE or any combinations of 1 GE and 10 GE among the two
ports available) and dual power supplies (AC/DC).

OL-32751-01
• ASR 920-Compact version [ASR-920-4SZ-A/ASR-920-4SZ-D]—This sub-family of routers have a
compact form factor and configurable ports: 4 x 1 GE or 4 x 10 GE or any combinations of 1 GE
and 10 GE among the four ports available. In addition, there are 2 x 1 GE copper ports available.
The following table provides snapshot of the number and type of supported ports:

Cisco ASR 920 Router Features
GigabitEthernet Copper Ports
Fixed copper GigabitEthernet (GE) interfaces are provided through standard RJ-45 connectors. These
ports support the following features:
• Standard 10/100/1000Base-T/TX operation with forced or auto-negotiation for speed and duplex.
• Automatic crossover (auto-MDIX) for straight-through and crossover connections.
• Pause flow control as defined by the 802.3x standard.
• Frame size of 9216 bytes.
• Synchronous ENET operation that provides its recovered receive clock as an input clock source for
the SETS as well as uses the system-wide reference clock to derive its transmit clock.
GE SFP Ports
The GE SFP ports support the following features:
• 100Base-FX and 1000Base-X SFP modules.
Chapter 1 Cisco ASR 920 Series Aggregation Services Router Overview
SFP+ Ports
• Digital optical monitoring as specified by the SFP.
• Any mix of SFPs is supported unless specifically noted.
NoteOnly six Smart SFPs are supported on the router.
• Pause flow control as defined by the 802.3x standard.
• Frame size of 9216 bytes.
• Synchronous ENET operation that provides its recovered receive clock as an input clock source for
the SETS as well as uses the system-wide reference clock to derive its transmit clock.
NoteCopper based SFPs and Smart SFPs do not support synchronous ENET operations.
The SFP+ ports support the following features:
• Digital optical monitoring as specified by the optical transceiver module.
• Any mix of SFPs is supported unless specifically noted.
• Pause flow control as defined by the 802.3x standard.
