10 Gbps Ethernet ports

The Gen-1 2-port or 4-port Ethernet modules (BR-MLX-10Gx4-X) have either two or four physical ports that allow you to connect your router to other network routers at a speed of 10 Gbps.

You must insert XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers in each port you intend to use. XFP-compliant transceivers provide an optical or physical medium-dependent (PMD) interface for single- or multi-mode fiber that can be used with either the LAN physical layer (PHY) or WAN physical layer (WAN PHY).

For a list of XFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers supported for Gen-1 2-port or 4-port modules, refer to the latest version of the Brocade Optics Family Data Sheet, available online in the following location:

For more information about fiber-optic transceivers and associated cabling, refer to “Installing a fiber-optic transceiver” on page 318.
