High end X2 transceiver vs XENPAK transceiver Offered By Fiberstore

Fiberstore supply some high performance X2 transceiver,such as 10GBase-sr x2,10GBase-lr x2,10GBase-er x2,10GBase-zr x2 and so on.Now,tell you some information about X2 transceiver,it is a hot swappable products designed for 10Gbps applications. Its development was based on former Xenpak standards, X2 transceiver inner function is almost similar with Xenpak, and X2 also can use one transceiver to fulfill all 10G Ethernet optical port function. It is about half size of Xenpak, this enable it suit for density installations. X2 transceiver is 10G old generation transceiver that less and less used by operators. Fiberstore X2 transceivers are fully compliant to IEEE 802.3ae standard for Ethernet and the 10GFC Rev. 4 Fibre Channel standard, making it ideally suited for 10 GbE datacom and storage area network (SAN / NAS).

Fiberstore supply the X2-10GB-ER is a 10GBase-er x21550nm 40km transceiver module. The X2-10GB-ER transceiver module provides a low cost high-performance connection. The X2-10GB-ER is 100% compatible with all Cisco series switches and modules which support X2 transceivers.The 10GBase-er we not only have X2 transceiver,but also have XENPAK transceivers,for example,the types of 10GBase-er XENPAK.

XENPAK transceivers from Wikipedia say that the XENPAK is a Multisource Agreement (MSA), instigated by Agilent Technologies and Agere Systems, that defines a fiber-optic or wired transceiver module which conforms to the 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 working group. The MSA group received input from both transceiver and equipment manufacturers during the definition process. XENPAK has been replaced by more compact devices providing the same functionality.XENPAK modules were supplied for physical layer interfaces supporting multi-mode and single mode fiber optic cables and InfiniBand copper cables with connectors known as CX4. Transmission distances vary from 100 metres (330 ft) to 80 kilometres (50 mi) for fiber and up to 15 metres (49 ft) on CX4 cable. Newer XENPAKs using the 10GBase-LX4 standard operated using multiple wavelengths on legacy multi-mode fibres at distances of up to 300 metres (980 ft), eliminating the need to reinstall cable in a building when upgrading certain 1 Gbit/s circuits to 10 Gbit/s.

Xenpak and X2 module are both from the Xenpak standard evolution. Its internal function modules are basically same with Xenpak ,and the circuit board applications b are same too, also using one module to realize 10G Ethernet optical interface functions. Due to the the Xenpak light module is installed on the circuit board when the circuit board slotted to achieve more complex, can not achieve the high-density applications. About half of the Xenpak and X2 optical modules volume improved after only Xenpak directly into the circuit board, it is applied to high-density rack systems and PCI card applications.

Xenpak and X2 optical modules can provide two types of circuit interface: XAUI and Serial Framer Interface (SFI-4), can be used for10G Ethernet ,also can be used for OC-192 SDH and 10GFC. It can be said Xenpak and X2 have very similar standard, X2 changes reflected in the rail system compared Xenpak. The industry generally believe that the two specifications will eventually integrate.

Fiberstore has a large quantity of fiber optic products in stock and can ship the transceivers to you within 24 hours. All of the optical transceiver are tested in-house prior to shipping to insure that they will arrive in perfect physical and working condition. X2 transceiver vs XENPAK transceiver which transceiver won the competitions.Welcome to Fiberstore.
