Cisco 10-Gbps Ethernet X2 Transceivers
The Cisco Ethernet X2 Transceiver Short Reach (up to 300 m; part number DS-X2-E10G-SR) enables high-
performance Fibre Channel connectivity for the Cisco MDS 9000 family 10-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module to
an existing Ethernet Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) transponder (Figure 8). The data format
transmitted by the Ethernet X2 transceiver (DS-X2-E10G-SR) onto the fiber is identical to that transmitted by the
Fibre Channel transceiver (DS-X2-FC10G-SR), except that the Fibre Channel packets are clocked at the 10 gigabit
Ethernet rate, which allows Fibre Channel packets to be carried over an existing 10-Gbps Ethernet DWDM
infrastructure. The Cisco MDS 9000 family 10-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module will automatically detect DS-X2-
E10G-SR; no software configuration is required.
