Overview
Note The dual SC connectors on the optical XENPAK transceivers support network interface cables with
either Physical Contact (PC) or Ultra-Physical Contact (UPC) polished face types. The dual SC
connectors on the optical XENPAK transceivers do not support network interface cables with an Angle
Polished Connector (APC) polished face type.
The XENPAK transceiver connects the electrical circuitry of the module with the optical or copper
network. Table 3 lists the 10-Gigabit XENPAK port cabling specifications. Table 4 lists the optical
transmit and receive specifications for most XENPAK transceivers.

1. Minimum cabling distance for optical XENPAK transceivers is 2 meters according to the IEEE 802.3ae standard.
2. Requires a 5 dB 1550 nm fixed loss attenuator for distances less than 20 km.
3. Links longer than 30 km are considered engineered links; meaning that for distances up to 30 km, no special link design rules need to be considered.
Link distances beyond 30 km require that you verify the cable characteristics, especially the cable’s loss value.
4. When shorter distances of SMF are used, an inline optical attenuator (11 dB) must be used to avoid overloading and damaging the receiver.

Required Tools
Required Tools
You will need these tools to install the XENPAK transceiver module:
•Small flat-blade screwdriver to loosen or tighten the XENPAK transceiver captive installation
screws.
•Wrist strap or other personal grounding device to prevent (Min) dischage (ESD) occurrences.
•Antistatic mat or antistatic foam to set the XENPAK transceiver on.
•Fiber-optic end-face cleaning tools and inspection equipment. For complete information on
inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, refer to the white paper at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk607/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtml
Installing the XENPAK Transceiver
Caution The 10-Gigabit XENPAK transceiver is a static-sensitive device. Always use an ESD wrist strap or
similar individual grounding device when handling the XENPAK transceivers or coming into contact
with the modules.
To install a 10-Gigabit XENPAK transceiver, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove the 10-Gigabit Ethernet XENPAK transceiver from its protective packaging.
Note Do not remove the optical bore dust plugs until directed to do so later in the procedure.
Step 2 Check the label on the 10-Gigabit Ethernet XENPAK transceiver body to verify that you have the correct
model for your network. Refer to Table 2 to verify that the product number matches the desired band and
channel.
Step 3 Align the XENPAK transceiver with the opening in the module faceplate, and slide the XENPAK
transceiver into the opening until the XENPAK transceiver faceplate is in contact with the module
faceplate. (See Figure 2.) This step ensures that the XENPAK transceiver is fully seated in the module
socket.
Step 4 Tighten the two captive installation screws to secure the XENPAK transceiver in the socket. Avoid
cross-threading or overtightening the captive screws.
Caution Any optical signal greater than -1 dB can damage the DWDM XENPAK transceiver. The maximum
sensitivity for the DWDM XENPAK receiver is -7 dB. You must use a 10 dB attenuator on short
fiber-optic cable runs to prevent damage to the DWDM XENPAK transceiver and to guarantee the
specified performance.

Note Before removing the dust plugs and making any optical connections, observe the following guidelines:
•Always keep the protective dust plugs on the unplugged fiber-optic cable connectors and the
transceiver optical bores until you are ready to make a connection.
•Always inspect and clean the SC connector end-faces just before making any connections. Refer to
the Tip on this page for a pointer to a fiber-optic inspection and cleaning white paper.
•Always grasp the SC connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber-optic cable.
Step 5 Remove the dust plugs from the network interface cable SC connectors. Save the dust plugs for future
use.
Step 6 Inspect and clean the SC connector’s fiber-optic end-faces. Refer to the Tip below for a pointer to a
fiber-optic inspection and cleaning white paper.
Tip For complete information on inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, refer to the white paper at
this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk482/tk607/technologies_white_paper09186a0080254eba.shtml
Step 7 Remove the dust plugs from the 10-Gigabit XENPAK transceiver optical bores. Save the dust plugs for
future use.
Step 8 Immediately attach the network interface cable SC connectors to the 10-Gigabit XENPAK transceiver.
