Connect Fast Ethernet ports on both the LAN and the WAN sides of the WAVE inline appliance by using 
the following cable types:

On the LAN side of the connection, use a straight-through cable between the WAVE inline appliance 
and the network device. 

On the WAN side of the connection, use the cable that is different from the cable that you would use 
to connect the two network devices directly (as determined in 

For example, if you are connecting a router and a switch (two different devices) through the WAVE 
inline appliance, use a straight-through cable on the LAN side of the connection and use a crossover 
cable on the WAN side of the connection. (If you were connecting the two different devices directly, 
you would use a straight-through cable, so use the crossover cable instead.)

If you are connecting two switches (or two similar devices), use straight-through cables on both the 
LAN and the WAN sides of the WAVE inline appliance.

 show which cables to use for the WAVE LAN and WAN 

connections between Fast Ethernet ports.

The following three SFP+ pluggable transceiver modules are supported for use with the 2-port Fiber 
Optic 10 Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module:

SFP-10G-SR—Short range fiber xcvr

SFP-H10G-CU3M— Three meter captive copper cable with xcvrs

SFP-H10G-CU5M— Five meter captive copper cable with xcvrs

Transceivers not supported will be rejected by the software.

For fiber cable length reach and IEEE standards for the supported transceivers, refer to the pluggable 
10G optics data sheet on Cisco.com:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps5455/data_sheet_c78-455693.html

Optical reach is 137 m (449 ft) to any individual port. This allows for a total of 274 m (899 ft) when 
operating in bypass mode.

WAVE appliances can be installed physically between two network devices (such as the branch office 
router and branch office LAN switch) by connecting the WAVE inline network adapter ports to the 
network devices using the proper cables.

If you are connecting a WAVE inline appliance between two devices using Gigabit Ethernet, you can use 
either straight-through cables, crossover cables, or any combination of the two cable types, regardless of 
the type of device. This section shows cabling examples for Fast Ethernet connections only, because Fast 
Ethernet has specific cabling requirements.

The inline network adapter has four ports that are divided into two inline groups (see the 

). The WAVE appliance can be physically placed inline between two 

distinct network paths, creating redundant WAN links. (See 

.)
