Hardware Specifications
You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the MXP_2.5G_10E card in a
Caution
loopback on the trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the MXP_2.5G_10E card. Using
direct fiber loopbacks causes irreparable damage to the MXP_2.5G_10E card.
