A.9.14 GE_XP and 10GE_XP Card Specifications
The GE_XP and 10GE-XP cards have the following specifications:
 • Line (trunk side) 
 –
Bit rate: 11.1 Gbps (in ITU-T G.709 Digital Wrapper/FEC mode) or 10.3125 Gbps (in ITU-T 
G.709 Digital Wrapper/FEC mode disabled)
 –
Code: Scrambled NRZ 
 –
Fiber: 1550-nm single-mode 
 –
Maximum chromatic dispersion allowance: – 500 to 1600 ps/nm (specified penalty) 
 –

Caution You must use a 20-dB fiber attenuator (15 to 25 dB) when working with the GE_XP card in a loopback 
on the trunk port. Do not use direct fiber loopbacks with the GE_XP card. Using direct fiber loopbacks 
causes irreparable damage to the GE_XP card.
