NIM and Transceiver Modules
This article describes the Network Interface Modules (NIMs) for the vEdge 5000 router as well as the SFP
and SFP+ transceivers for those NIMs.
NIMs for the vEdge 5000 Router
The vEdge 5000 router offers interface modularity, providing four NIM slots that support three types of NIMs:
• 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP NIM (Model: NIM-8-1GE-SFP)
• 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet Copper Rj45 NIM (Model: NIM-8-1GE-RJ45)
• 4x10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ NIM (Model: NIM-4-10GE-SFPP)
The four NIM slots are labeled NIM Slot 0 to NIM Slot 3. You can install any combination of the above three
NIM types in the four available NIM slots.
Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 show the front panel of the 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP NIM, 8x1-Gigabit
Ethernet Copper Rj45 NIM, and 4x10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ NIM, respectively.
