10 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
A 10 Gigabit Ethernet module contains two or four physical ports, through which you can connect your NetIron
MLX Series router to other network devices at a speed of 10 Gigabits.
Into a physical port, you must insert a fiber-optic transceiver provided by Foundry. The XFP-compliant fiber-optic
modules provide an optical transceiver or physical medium-dependent (PMD) interface for single or multi-mode
fiber that can be used with the LAN physical layer (PHY).
