XENPAK Interfaces
The BlackDiamond 8800 series of switches, the BlackDiamond 10808 switch, the BlackDiamond 12800
series of switches, and the Summit family of switches support several types of XENPAK modules. All of
these modules conform to the 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard defined by the IEEE 802.3ae as applicable
XENPAK modules contain Class 1 laser devices. Invisible laser radiation can occur when the connectors are open.
Do not stare into the beam. This device is compliant with FCC 21 CFR 1040.10, 1040.11 and EN60825-1
A2:2001.
Extreme Networks switches and modules support the following types of XENPAK interfaces:
● SR XENPAK
● LR XENPAK
● ER XENPAK
● ZR XENPAK
● LX4 XENPAK
● LW XENPAK
CX4 XENPAKs are also supported by Extreme Networks devices; contact your vendor to obtain these.
Use only Extreme Networks-approved XENPAK modules in all Extreme Networks devices.
SR XENPAK
The SR XENPAK supports multimode fiber (MMF) and has SC connectors.
The SR XENPAK requires the software versions listed in Table 64.
