4GE Bypass Interface Card

2SX Interface Card 

The 2SX interface card (part numbers IPS-2SX-INT and IPS-2SX-INT=) provides two 1000BASE-SX 
(fiber) monitoring interfaces. The IPS 4260 supports up to two 2SX interface cards for a total of four SX 
interfaces. The 2SX card ports require a multi-mode fiber cable with an LC connector to connect to the 
SX interface of the sensor. The 2SX interface card does not support hardware bypass. 

Figure 3-2

 shows the 2SX interface card.

10GE Interface Card

The 10GE interface card (part numbers IPS-2X10GE-SR-INT and IPS-2X10GE-SR-INT=) provides two 
10000 Base-SX (fiber) interfaces. The IPS 4260 supports one 10GE interface card for a total of two 
10GE fiber interfaces. The card ports require a multi-mode fiber cable with an LC connector to connect 
to the SX interface of the IPS 4260. The 10GE interface card does not support hardware bypass.
