Connecting the E7-2 Line Interfaces
This section describes how to connect the Calix E7-2 line interfaces to the network.
Equipping the E7-2 interface ports
Calix E7-2 line cards use pluggable transceiver modules to provide interface connections, but
the cards do not ship equipped with modules. You must install pluggable modules into the
cards to equip the ports.
Calix offers a full suite of optical and copper pluggable modules to support a wide array of
applications. The E7-2 10GE and GPON ports require only Calix-supplied modules, but E7-
2 GE ports can use SFP modules from Calix or other suppliers, with some restrictions. Refer
to the Calix E7-2 Product Planning Guide for complete details.
Note: When using SFP modules not supplied by Calix, you must use modules that comply
with the SFP Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the Small Form Factor (SFF)
committee INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.
Pluggable modules are available to support different facility types and connectors:

Interface Options
10GE
XFP 10GE (10 Gbps) optical
SFP+ 10GE (10 Gbps) optical
10GE (10 Gbps) copper
GE SFP* GE (1000 Mbps) dual-fiber and single-fiber modules
FE (100 Mbps) dual-fiber and single-fiber modules
1000/100BaseT copper modules
GPON OIM 2.4/1.2 Gbps PON optical
*All SFPs must be Class 1 laser devices in accordance with FDA regulation 21CFR 1040.10, 1040.11, and IEC 60825-1.
Note: For E7-2 deployments in outdoor/remote environments, be sure to use Industrial-
rated (i-temp) modules.
