2. Cable distances are based on fiber loss. Additional factors, such as the number of splices and the optical quality of the fiber, can affect cabling 
distances.
3. Use with MMF only.

1. The 1000BASE-ZX GBIC transceiver provides a minimum optical power budget of 
23 dB. To determine the supported link distance, you need to measure your cable plant 
with an optical loss test set to verify that the optical loss of the cable plant (including 
connectors and splices) is less than or equal to this value. The optical measurement 
must be performed with a 1550 nanometer light source.

  10-GB Transceivers
Ta b l e  B - 1 0 lists the physical and environmental specifications for the 1-GB SFP transceivers.
NoteYou can use any combination of SFP modules that your Cisco device supports. The only restrictions are 
that each SFP port must match the wavelength specifications on the other end of the cable and that the 
cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
10-GB Transceivers
The 10-GB transceiver types include the XENPAK transceiver and the X2 transceiver. The XENPAK 
transceivers and X2 transceivers differ in form-factor; they are not interchangeable. Ta b l e  B - 1 1 lists both 
10-GB transceiver types and the modules that support them

SFP+ transceivers
3. The WS-X6904-40G Ethernet module has four ports that support 40-Gigabit CFP 
transceivers. By installing a FourX converter in a port, that port can accept up to 
four SFP+ transceivers.

1. Cable distances are based on fiber loss. Additional factors, such as the number of splices and the optical quality of the fiber, can affect cabling distances. 
The minimum cabling distance for optical XENPAK types (LX4, SR, LR, and ER) is 6.6 ft (2 m) according to the IEEE 802.3ae standard. The minimum 
cabling distance for the XENPAK-10GB-LRM is 1.6 ft (0.5 m) according to IEEE 802.3aq standard.

fiber (MMF). To ensure that specifications are met, the transmitter output should be coupled through a mode conditioning patch cord. Cisco offers two 
mode conditioning patch cords: CAB-GELX-625= (mode conditioning patch cable, 62.5 microns, dual SC connectors) and CAB-MCP50-SC= (mode

X2 Transceivers
X2 transceivers are supported on the WS-X6708-10GE, WS-X6716-10GE, and the WS-X6848-10GE 
10-Gigabit Ethernet modules. Not all X2 transceiver types are supported unconditionally by these two 
modules; the following caveats apply:
X2-10GB-CX4—10GBASE for CX4 (copper) cable. No restrictions for use.
X2-10GB-ER—10GBASE-ER serial 1550-nm extended-reach, single-mode fiber (SMF), 
dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF). X2-10GB-ER transceivers labeled with a serial number that ends in 
-02 do not provide EMI compliance with the WS-X6716-10GE module. (See Figure B-7 for the 
serial number location.)
X2-10GB-LR—10GBASE-LR serial 1310-nm long-reach, single-mode fiber (SMF), 
dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF). X2-10GB-LR transceivers labeled with a serial number that ends in 
-02 do not provide EMI compliance with the WS-X6716-10GE module. (See Figure B-7 for the 
serial number location.)
X2-10GB-LRM—10GBASE-LRM for FDDI-grade multimode fiber (MMF). The X2-10GB-LRM 
is not supported by the show idprom command.
X2-10GB-LX4—10GBASE-LX4 serial 1310-nm multimode fiber (MMF). X2-10GB-LX4 
transceivers that are labeled with a serial number that ends with -01, -02, or -03 do not provide EMI 
compliance when they are installed in the WS-X6716-10GE. (See Figure B-7 for the serial number 
location.)
X2-10GB-SR—10GBASE-SR serial 850-nm short-reach multimode fiber (MMF). No restrictions 
for use.
