10GNI Modules

OmniSwitch 8800 10 Gigabit Network Interface (10GNI)
modules provide one redundant wire-rate 10000 Mbps (10
Gbps) connection per module. In addition, 10GNI modules can
be used in enterprise applications including backbone connec-
tions in networks where 10 Gigabit Ethernet is used as the
backbone media.

slots acting as one port. (Only one port can be active at a
time.)

Xenpaks

The OS8-10GNI-UR1 provides two Xenpak slots acting as one
redundant port. A Xenpak is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port
module that is hot-pluggable—i.e., it can be installed or
removed while the NI is powered on and operating without the
risk of damage to the MiniGBIC module or the host circuitry.
The following Xenpak types are available for OS8-10GNI-
UR1 module:
OM-10GNI-SR— 10GBASE-S multimode 850 nanom-
•
eters (nm) fiber with a serial (one color of wavelength)
transceiver, supports distances up to 300 meters over multi-
mode fiber; uses SC connectors (high modal bandwidth
fiber is required to reach 300 meters)
OM-10GNI-LR— 10GBASE-L single mode 1310 nm
•
fiber with a serial transceiver, supports distances up to 10
km over single mode fiber; uses SC connectors
OM-10GNI-ER—10GBASE-E single mode 1550 nm
•
fiber with a serial transceiver, supports distances up to 40
km over single mode fiber; uses SC connectors
Customers should use only Alcatel-provided Xenpak modules.
Third party Xenpak modules not provided by Alcatel are not
guaranteed to work properly.
