switch.
X2 Fibre Channel Transceivers
The X2 Fibre Channel transceiver is a small form-factor optimized for 10-Gbps applications and uses an
SC connector. The X2 transceiver is ideally suited for Ethernet, Fibre Channel and telecom switches, and
standard peripheral component interconnect (PCI)-based server and storage connections. The X2
provides robust thermal performance and electromagnetic shielding.
