Optional Media Extender Modules
10GBASE XFP Module
Figure 1-6 Single-Port 10GBASE Module (XFP)
The module’s XFP slot supports standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10G) XFP
transceivers. The 10GBASE transceivers operate at 10 Gbps full duplex with
support for flow control.
Extender Module LEDs
The optional 10GBASE slide-in module includes its own integrated LED indicators
on the module’s front panel. The following table describes the LEDs.
Features and Benefits
Connectivity
• 24 or 48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for easy Gigabit Ethernet integration and for
protection of your investment in legacy LAN equipment.
• Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the optimum
communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is supported by the
attached device; otherwise the port can be configured manually.
• RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T ports support auto MDI/MDI-X pinout selection.
• Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3 or better for
10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps connections, and
Category Category 5, 5e, 6 or better for 1000 Mbps connections.
• IEEE 802.3-2005 Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3ae
10 Gigabit Ethernet compliance ensures compatibility with standards-based hubs,
network cards and switches from any vendor.
• Provides stacking capability via high-speed serial ports with 48 Gbps stacking
bandwidth. Up to 8 units can be stacked together.
