10-Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver (XFP) Specifications
The 10‐Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) interface port slots on the G3 modules support various optional 10‐Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) standard type fiber‐optic and copper transceivers. Table A‐24 provides the input/output specifications for each supported XFP version as specified in the IEEE 802.3ae‐2002 standard.

1.The limiting factor is saturation of the receiver by the transmitter. When presented with a signal at a strength above the saturation point, the receiver cannot distinguish between pulses, though no hardware damage occurs.
2.Links longer than 30 km for the same link power budget are considered engineered links. Attenuation for such links needs to be less than the minimum
