Overview
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 transceiver module is a hot-swappable I/O device that plugs into 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. (See Figure 1.) The X2 transceiver connects the electrical circuitry of the system with the optical or copper network. Product numbers and other details are provided in Table 1 and Table 2.
Figure 1 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module (Optical)
Note
The dual SC connectors on the X2 transceivers support network interface cables with either Physical Contact (PC) or Ultra-Physical Contact (UPC) polished face types. The dual SC connectors on the X2 transceivers do not support network interface cables with an Angle Polished Connector (APC) polished face type.
Table 3 lists the port cabling specifications for the 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 transceiver modules. Table 4 lists the X2 transceiver optical transmit and receive specifications.

1 Minimum cabling distance for optical X2 transceivers is 2 meters according to the IEEE 802.3ae standard.
2 Requires a 5-dB 1550-nm, fixed-loss attenuator for distances less than 20 km.
3 For distances up to 30 km, no special link design rules need to be considered. Link distances beyond 30 km require that you verify the cable characteristics, especially the cable's loss value.
4 When shorter distances of SMF are used, an inline optical attenuator (10 dB) must be used to avoid overloading and damaging the receiver.
Table 3 lists the optical specifications of the DWDM X2 transceivers.

Safety
Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that may harm you if performed them incorrectly or ignore them. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement.
Statement 1071—Warning Definition
Required Tools
You will need these tools to install the 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 transceiver modules:
•
Small flat-blade screwdriver for removing the X2 transceiver socket covers.
•
Wrist strap or other personal grounding device to prevent ESD occurrences.
•
Antistatic mat or antistatic foam to set the transceiver on.
•
Fiber-optic end-face cleaning tools and inspection equipment. For complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, refer to the white-paper document at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk607/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtml
Installing the 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 transceiver module that you receive may or may not have a spring-loaded latch sleeve. Both transceiver types are functionally identical.
Warning
Class 1 laser product. Statement 1008
Warning
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. Statement 70
Warning
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Statement 1040
Warning
Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Statement 1057
Note
This installation procedure applies to both the spring-loaded and non-spring-loaded X2 transceivers.
CautionThe X2 transceiver is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual grounding device when handling X2 transceivers or coming into contact with system modules.
To install an X2 transceiver, follow these steps:
Step 1
Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, carefully pry the X2 transceiver port cover off of the system module faceplate.
Use the two arrows on the port cover as guides for inserting the screwdriver blade. Save the port cover for future use.
Step 2
Remove the X2 transceiver from its protective packaging.
Note
Do not remove the optical bore dust plugs until directed to do so later in the procedure.
Step 3
Check the label on the X2 transceiver body to verify that you have the correct model for your network.
Step 4
To install the X2 transceiver, follow these steps:
a.
Insert the X2 transceiver into the transceiver socket on the system module front panel. (See Figure 2, top view.) Continue sliding the X2 transceiver into the socket until the X2 transceiver EMI gasket is against the system module faceplate. The X2 transceiver connector is now mated to the socket connector.
b.
Verify that the X2 transceiver latches are fully engaged and secure by sliding the transceiver latching sleeve toward the system module faceplate. (See Figure 2, bottom view.)
CautionIf the latches are not fully engaged, you may accidently disconnect the X2 transceiver.
Figure 2 Installing the 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module
Note
10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 transceivers are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion.
Step 5
If you are cabling an optical X2 transceiver, follow these steps. If you are cabling a CX4 X2 transceiver, go to step 6.
Before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections, observe the following guidelines:
–
Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and the transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
–
Always inspect and clean the SC connector end-faces just before making any connections. Refer to the Tip on this page for a pointer to a fiber-optic inspection and cleaning white paper.
–
Always grasp the SC connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.
a.
Remove the dust plugs from the optical network interface cable SC connectors. Save the dust plugs for future use.
b.
Inspect and clean the SC connector's fiber-optic end faces.
TipFor complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, refer to the white-paper document at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk607/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtmlc.
Remove the dust plugs from the X2 transceiver module optical bores.
d.
Immediately attach the network interface cable SC connectors to the X2 transceiver module. (See Figure 3 for cabling an optical X2 transceiver module.)
Figure 3 Cabling an Optical 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module
Step 6
Plug the InfiniBand cable connector into the CX4 X2 transceiver connector. (See Figure 4.) Make sure that the InfiniBand cable connector is aligned with the X2 transceiver.
Figure 4 Cabling a CX4 (Copper) 10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Module
Step 7
Carefully route the InfiniBand network cable through the cable management brackets on your system. Figure 5 shows how the InfiniBand cable should be routed through either a horizontal cable management bracket or a vertical cable management bracket.
Note
Make sure that you route the InfiniBand cable through cable management brackets to provide adequate strain relief and cable support when cabling CX4 X2 transceivers. The InfiniBand cable is heavy. Without proper support, the InfiniBand cable can cause the cable connector to sag or skew. Misalignment between the cable connector and the transceiver connector can cause intermittent connections between the cable connector pins and the CX4 X2 transceiver pins.

Warning
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. Statement 70
Warning
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Statement 1040
Warning
Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Statement 1057
Note
This removal procedure applies to both the spring-loaded and non-spring-loaded X2 transceivers.
CautionThe X2 transceiver is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or similar individual grounding device when handling X2 transceivers or coming into contact with modules.
To remove an X2 transceiver, follow these steps:
Step 1
Disconnect the network interface cable from the X2 transceiver connectors. If this is an optical X2 transceiver, immediately reinstall the dust plugs in the X2 transceiver optical bores and the fiber-optic cable SC connectors.
Step 2
Grip the sides of the X2 transceiver latching sleeve with your thumb and forefinger, and pull the latching sleeve out to release the X2 transceiver from the socket connector. (See Figure 6, top view.)
Step 3
Slide the X2 transceiver out of the socket. (See Figure 6, bottom view.) Immediately place the X2 transceiver in an antistatic bag.
Step 4
Reinstall the socket cover if you are not installing an X2 transceiver in the empty socket:
a.
Position the socket cover in front of the socket opening.
b.
Snap the socket cover in place.
