X2 Installation
An X2 transceiver is a hot swappable input/output device that plugs into the 10-Gigabit Ethernet port of
the supervisor engine and links the supervisor engine with a fiber-optic network. X2 transceivers are
online swappable.
Full documentation of the X2 transceiver is in the
10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 Transceiver Installation Note
.
You may also use Cisco TwinGig and Cisco OneX converter modules in these ports. Installation
documentation for Cisco TwinGig converter modules can be found in the
Installation Notes for the Cisco
TwinGig Converter Module.
For supported X2 transceiver media types, refer to:

Tip
For complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, refer to the white-paper
document at this URL:

Caution
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet 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.
X2 Transceiver Maintenance Guidelines
To properly maintain X2 transceivers, follow these guidelines:
•
To prevent ESD damage, follow normal handling procedures.
•
When the transceiver is stored or when a fiber-optic cable is not plugged in, always keep plugs in
the optical bores.
•
The most common source of contaminants in the optical bores is debris picked up on the ferrules of
the optical connectors. Use an alcohol swab or Kim-Wipe to clean the ferrules of the optical
connector.
Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments.
