Are both interfaces active on an EHWIC-1GE-SFP-CU

Looking to add an EHWIC-1GE-SFP-CU card to a Cisco 2901 router.

 

I am curious if both the SFP and the copper port are active as sepearte routeable interfaces, or is it one or the other?

 

I would like to use the SFP port with a fiber mm optic cable but I'm curious if I could also use the copper cat5e jack on this ehwic card as another interface for routing.

Hi,

See below -

 

"For flexibility, the EHWIC includes one SFP slot, which supports a Cisco SFP and a copper RJ-45 port, where either the SFP port (operating at 100/1000 Mbps) or the RJ-45 (operating at 10/100/1000 Mbps) port can be active at one time"

Thank you. It seems I need two cards IF I want an extra copper and extra fiber interface.

 

However I think I can make due with some spare things i have laying around.  Thanks for your answer!
