X2-10GB-LX4

The Cisco X2-10GB-LX4 is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver designed for high-speed data communication over single-mode fiber. It's often found in enterprise networks and data centers where reliable, long-distance connectivity is essential. Network engineers and IT professionals use this module to extend their fiber network reach while maintaining high throughput.

Built for Cisco switches, this transceiver simplifies upgrades by supporting plug-and-play installation without needing to power down the system. It's commonly deployed in backbone networks, server farms, and campus environments that demand consistent performance over longer distances.

Key Features

• Multi-wavelength LX4 tech enables four parallel lanes of 3.125 Gbps each
• Supports link lengths up to 300 meters on single-mode fiber
• Compatible with X2 slots on Cisco switches for easy integration
• Hot-swappable to allow quick replacement or upgrades without downtime
• Operates at a nominal wavelength of 1310 nm for optical transmission

This transceiver is typically installed in environments where fiber optic runs exceed typical copper cable lengths, making it suitable for interconnecting switches across buildings or within large data centers. It helps maintain network speed and stability over these distances without signal degradation, ensuring smooth data flow.
