Cisco 10G BASE XENPAK Modules

Figure 1. Cisco 10GBASE XENPAK Modules

• Supports 10GBASE Ethernet

• Hot-swappable input/output device plugs into an Ethernet XENPAK port of a Cisco switch or router to link the port with the network

• Provides flexibility of interface choice

• Supports "pay-as-you-populate" model

• Supports the Cisco quality identification feature that enables a Cisco switch or router to identify whether the module is a Cisco certified and tested XENPAK module

• Cisco XENPAK-10GB-CX4: Supports link lengths of up to 15m on CX4 cable.

• Cisco XENPAK-10GB-LX4: Supports link lengths of 300m on standard Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) grade multimode fiber (MMF). To ensure that specifications are met, the transmitter output should be coupled through a mode conditioning patch cord. For additional information on mode conditioning patch cord requirements please see: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps5455/product_bulletin_c25-530836.html.

• Cisco XENPAK-10GB-LRM: Supports link lengths 220m on standard FDDI-grade multimode fiber (MMF). To ensure that specifications are met over FDDI-grade, OM1 and OM2 fibers, the transmitter should be coupled through a mode conditioning patch cord. No mode conditioning patch cord is required for applications over OM3. For additional information on mode conditioning patch cord requirements please see: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps5455/product_bulletin_c25-530836.html.

• Cisco XENPAK-10GB-SR: Supports a link length of 26m on standard FDDI grade MMF. Up to 300m link lengths are possible when using 2000 MHz/km MMF (OM3).

• Cisco XENPAK-10GB-LR / -LR+: Supports a link length of 10 km on standard single-mode fiber (SMF) (G.652).

• Cisco XENPAK-10GB-ER / -ER+: Supports a link length of up to 40 km on SMF (G.652).

• Cisco XENPAK-10GB-ZR: Supports link lengths of up to about 80 km on SMF. This interface is not part of the 10 Gigabyte Ethernet standard but is built according to Cisco optical specifications.

• Cisco XENPAK-10GB-LW (WAN PHY): Supports a link length of 10 km on standard single-mode fiber (SMF) (G.652). WAN-PHY is intended to allow the transport of 10 Gigabit Ethernet over a traditional SONET/SDH infrastructure by rendering 10 Gigabit Ethernet compatible with SONET STS-192c format and data rate, as defined by ANSI, as well as the SDH VC-4-64c container specified by ITU.

Technical Specifications
