10 Gbps Ethernet ports
The 10 Gbps Ethernet module has four physical ports that allow you to connect your router to other
network routers at a speed of 10 Gbps.
You must insert XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers (provided by Dell) in each port you intend to
use. XFP-compliant transceivers provide an optical or physical medium-dependent (PMD) interface
for single- or multi-mode fiber that can be used with the LAN physical layer (PHY).
