XFP Connections
XFP Connections
The qualified XFPs include an optical transmitter and receiver pair integrated with Clock and Data
Recovery (CDR) integrated circuits. The XFPs provide high-speed serial links at 10.3125 Gbps on single
mode fibers. Table 2-4 lists the XFP port cabling specifications.
The transmit side recovers and retimes the 10 Gbps serial data and passes it to a laser driver. The laser
driver biases and modulates a laser, enabling data transmission over fiber through an LC connector. The
receive side recovers and retimes the 10 Gbps optical data stream from a photo detector trans impedance
amplifier and passes it to an output driver.
See the label on the XFP for technology type and model.
XFP dimensions are:
• Height 12.5 mm
• Width 18.35 mm
• Length 71.1mm
The XFP operating temperature range is from 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F).
