Cisco 10GBASE DWDM XENPAK Modules Overview
The Cisco ® Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) XENPAK pluggable allows enterprise companies and service providers to provide scalable and easy-to-deploy 10 Gigabit Ethernet services in their networks.
Main features of the Cisco DWDM XENPAK include:
- The Cisco DWDM XENPAK supports 10GBASE Ethernet.
- The hot-swappable input/output device plugs into an Ethernet XENPAK port of a Cisco switch or router to link the port with the network.
- The Cisco DWDM XENPAK supports the Cisco quality identification (ID) feature that enables a Cisco Systems® switch or router to identify whether or not the module is a Cisco certified and tested XENPAK module.
- The Cisco DWDM XENPAK supports 32 non-tunable ITU 100 GHz wavelengths compatible with the Cisco ONS DWDM channel plan.
- The Cisco DWDM XENPAK supports digital optical monitoring capability.
