X2 Transceiver Specifications
X2 Transceiver Specifications
The Cisco MDS 9200 Series is compatible with X2 transceivers and cables that have SC connectors.
Each transceiver must match the transceiver on the other end of the cable in terms of wavelength, and
the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
Use only Cisco X2 transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9200 Series. Each Cisco X2 transceiver is encoded
with the model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the
requirements for the switch.
For information about safety, regulatory, and standards compliance, refer to the Regulatory Compliance
and Safety Information for the Cisco MDS 9000 Family.
