Module Placement in a Matrix E7 Chassis
2-2 Network Requirements
The uplinks have one fiber‐optic interface with an LC connector. Depending on the XFP and fiber‐
optic cable used, the signal can be driven to a maximum distance of 33 m (108 ft) to 40 kilometers
(24.85 miles).
The device at the other end of the fiber optic connection must be a standards‐compliant product
with a matching XFP interface.
Module Placement in a Matrix E7 Chassis
If you want to mix 6x1xxx, 6x2xxx, 6x3xxx, and 7x4xxx series modules in the same Matrix
E7chassis, it is necessary to have a DFE‐Diamond bridging module installed, and follow the
module placement rules described in “
Backplane Connections and Installation Rules ” on page 3‐3
to successfully bridge data traffic to some or all modules in the chassis.
