The Small Form-Factor Pluggable 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP, 1550 nm, Commercial Temperature (XFP) optical transceiver is a fully duplex serial electric, serial optic device with both transmit and receive functions contained in a single module that provides a high speed serial link at 10 Gb/s. Installed into an appropriate host module, the XFP provides a 10 Gigabit interface to the supporting system.The transmit side of the XFP converts serial NRZ electrical date at the10 Gb/s line rate to a standard compliant optical signal. The receive side of the XFP converts the incoming DC balanced serial NRZ optical data at the 10 Gb/s line rate into serial electrical data.
