Actually, you can install a C7200-I/O-GE+E and save yourself a PA slot
and the associated bandwidth point hit.

Subject: Re: [c-nsp] 7206 Gig Ethernet Options
AFAIK, the PA-GE is only available supporting a GBIC, so there is no
native copper interface. I've never tried using a 1000b-T GBIC in a
PA-GE
before, but I wouldn't count on it working -- Cisco only lists the PA-GE
as supporting optical GBICs.
Depending on your application, you might be able to use a switch as a
"media converter" to convert from something like gig-SX from the PA-GE
to
a gigabit copper port. If you don't need the router to see multiple
VLANs
it's easy to just put a copper port and an optical port on the same VLAN
in a switch and use the two ports like a media converter. While not an
elegant solution, it does work.

We are in the process of migrating from ATM Circuits at our locations
to
point to point fiber. I have a Cisco 7206vxr with NPE-G2 so currently
I
have 3 GigE ports over Copper and have the option to add SFP's if need
be
to
go to fiber. If I need more GigE ports in this Chassis are the only
options
to add a PA-GE? I read where a PA-GE will not support the copper
gigabit?
