10-Gigabit Ethernet XFP Modules
The 8-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GE) 2:1 oversubscribed line card, 4-Port 10GE line card, and 8-Port
10GE 80 Gbps line rate card use single-mode fiber-optic cables. The maximum distance for single-mode
installations is determined by the amount of light loss in the fiber path. If your environment requires the
light to travel close to the typical maximum distance, you should use an OTDR to measure the power
loss.
