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.
Caution
Use only XFPs certified for use in Cisco Optical Networking Systems. The qualified Cisco XFP
pluggable module’s top assembly numbers (TANs) are provided in
