2 10-Gigabit Small Form

Factor Pluggables (XFPs)

10-Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggables (XFPs) are fiber-based optical transceivers. XFPs are fully hotswappable and are available for both short-reach and long-reach applications.

In This Chapter

This chapter describes the technical specifications for all the OmniSwitch supported XFP transceivers. For additional details about OmniSwitch modules, see the appropriate OmniSwitch Hardware Guide.

XFP specifications in the chapter include:

•

10-Gigabit Ethernet Transceivers. See

“10-Gigabit Ethernet Transceivers” on page 2-13 .

For information on installing and managing OmniSwitch hardware, see the appropriate Hardware Guide.

For information on OmniSwitch XFP compatibility, see “XFP Compatibility Matrix” on page 4-17

XFP MSA Specification 10-Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggables (XFPs)

XFP MSA Specification

The 10-Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA (Multi Source Agreement) is a specification for a common interface for optical modular transceivers. The XFP connector consists of a 30-pin receptacle and an XFP housing cage. The connector provides the interface for the hot pluggable XFP module. Each

XFP module contains a serial interface to provide identification information that describes the XFP capabilities, standard interfaces, manufacturer and other information.

For information on installing XFPs, refer to the documentation included with the transceiver.

This diagram is a representation only; the physical appearance of the actual module may vary slightly.

Eye Safety

XFP transceivers are international Class 1 laser products and are eye-safe devices when operated within

the limits of manufacturers’ specifications. Operating XFP transceivers in a manner inconsistent with intended usage and specification may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
