2.10.1 XFP Description
The 10-Gbps 1310-nm and 1550-nm XFP transceivers are integrated fiber optic transceivers that provide
high-speed serial links at the following signaling rates: 9.95 Gbps, 10.31 Gbps, and 10.52 Gbps. The
XFP integrates both the receiver and transmit path. The transmit side recovers and retimes the 10-Gbps
serial data and passes it to a laser driver. The laser driver biases and modulates single mode (SMF)
optical interfaces at 1310-nm or 1550-nm. The modules support all data encodings through an LC
connector. The receive side recovers, retimes the 10-Gbps optical data stream from a
positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) photodetector, transimpedance amplifier and passes it to an output
driver.
Use only XFPs certified for use in Cisco Optical Networking Systems. The qualified Cisco XFP
