Hardware features
1
A two 10-Gigabit Ethernet module contains two physical ports, through which you can connect your
BigIron RX Series switch to other network devices at a speed of 10 Gigabits.
Into a physical port, you must insert a fiber-optic module provided by Brocade. The XFP-compliant
fiber-optic modules provide an optical transceiver or physical medium dependent (PMD) interface
for single mode fiber that can be used with the LAN physical layer (PHY).
The following optic modules versions are available from Brocade:
•
Short wavelength (86 – 300 meters) – Brocade part number 10G-XFP-SR
•
Long wavelength (10 kilometers) – Brocade part number 10G-XFP-LR
•
Extra long wavelength (40 kilometers) – Brocade part number 10G-XFP-E=The front panel
includes the following control features:
•
Eight LEDs
•
Four 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP slots
