Cisco 10 Gigabit Modules
Cisco offers a range of XENPAK, X2,
and XFP modules for 10 Gigabit
Ethernet deployments. These Cisco
transceivers meet Cisco specifications
and are compliant with industry
standards. Cisco XENPAK, X2, and XFP
offer a convenient and cost-effective
solution for the adoption of 10 Gigabit
Ethernet in data center, campus,
metropolitan area access, and ring
networks. XENPAKs are offered for
several reaches and transmission
media and are supported on the
Catalyst 6500, 3750 Series switches,
and 7600 and CRS-1 routers today.
X2s are also offered for several
reaches and transmission media
and are supported on the Catalyst
4500 and 4948-10GE Series
switches today. The Cisco XFP
Module offers customers a dual rate
interface for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
and Packet-over-SONET/SDH (POS)
connectivity. XFPs are currently
supported on Cisco routers based
on Shared Port Adapter (SPA).

Cisco DWDM Transceiver Modules
The Cisco Dense Wave Division
Multiplexing (DWDM) XENPAKs allow
users to integrate WDM transport
directly with Cisco 10 Gigabit Ethernet
switches and routers. The DWDM
XENPAKs and DWDM optical filter and
amplifier products (Cisco ONS15216
series) enable the design of a flexible
and highly available multiservice
network. The DWDM XENPAKs support
100GHZ ITU grid and match the 4-skip-1
channel plan of Cisco ONS 100GHZ
products. The DWDM XENPAKs can
be used for unamplified and amplified
designs to transmit up to 320 Gigabit
over the same pair of SMF.
The Cisco Dense Wave Division
Multiplexing (DWDM) GBICs allow
users to integrate WDM transport
directly with Cisco Gigabit Ethernet
switches and routers. Just like
DWDM XENPAK, the DWDM GBICs
interoperate with the same ONS
equipment. They can be used for
unamplified and amplified designs
to transmit up to 32 Gigabit over the
same pair of SMF.
