Details:
The Cisco XENPAK-10GB-CX4 XENPAK Module is a transceiver module used for data transmission in networking applications. Let’s break down its functionalities:
XENPAK: It refers to the form factor, a type of hot-swappable hardware module that plugs into networking devices like switches and routers.
10GB: This indicates the module’s data transfer rate capability of 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps).
CX4: This stands for 10GBASE-CX4, a specific type of Ethernet standard that uses copper coaxial cabling for short-distance connections.
In simpler terms, this module allows you to connect networking devices over copper cables at a speed of 10 Gigabit per second, typically for up to 15 meters.
Here are some additional points to note about the Cisco XENPAK-10GB-CX4 XENPAK Module:
It supports the “pay-as-you-populate” model, meaning you can add these modules to your network devices only as needed.
Cisco offers a qCisco XENPAK-10GB-CX4uality identification feature to ensure the installed module is a certified Cisco product.
This module might be interoperable with other Cisco 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules like X2, XFP, and SFP+ on compatible links.
