10-GE Transponder Module
The 10-GE transponder module is double the size of the 2.5-Gbps transponder
module and requires a special 10-Gbps line card motherboard. You can install up
to two 10-GE transponder modules in a 10-Gbps line card motherboard. Each
transponder supports one client side and one trunk side interface. The client side
is a short-reach 1310-nm interface and the trunk side interface is an ITU grid
compliant 15xx-nm long-reach interface. The transmitter supports a 1260-nm to
1355-nm wavelength range. The 10-GE transponder module is available in 32
versions, one for each of the 32 ITU channels it supports.
The 10-GE transponder module is not protocol independent; it supports the 802.ae
specification for 10GBASE-LR interfaces. (See
