4-Port 10-GE PLIM with XFP Optics Modules
The 4-port 10-GE XFP PLIM supports from one to four pluggable XFP optics modules. The 4-port 10-GE
XFP PLIM has:
• Four ports that accept XFP optics modules
• Status LED for the PLIM
• LED for each port
Note
For information about the XFP optical transceiver modules supported on the 8-port 10-GE XFP PLIM, see
Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System Ethernet Physical Layer Interface Module Installation Note.
The 4-port 10-GE XFP PLIM supports the following types of XFP optical transceiver modules:
• Single-mode low power multirate XFP module—XFP10GLR-192SR-L, V01
• Single-mode low power multirate XFP module—XFP10GER-192IR-L, V01
Cisco qualifies the optics that are approved for use with its PLIMs.
For the modules listed, use a single-mode optical fiber that has a modal-field diameter of 8.7 ±0.5 microns
(nominal diameter is approximately 10/125 micron) to connect your router to a network.
