Expansion Modules
Optional expansion modules (XEMs) enable economical combinations of port type, speed and density in a single switch. Front bays in the switch allow quick and easy installation.
This Installation Guide describes how to install the following XEMs:
■XEM-1XP, a single XFP port for high-speed fibre connections
■XEM-2XP, a dual 10 GbE XFP port expansion module for high-speed fibre connections
■XEM-2XS, a dual 10 GbE SFP+ port expansion module for high-speed fibre and SFP+ Direct Attach copper connections
■XEM-12S, 12 SFP ports for copper and fibre links
■XEM-12Sv2, 12 SFP ports for copper and fibre links
■XEM-12T, 12 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports
■XEM-12Tv2, 12 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports
■XEM-2XT, a dual 10 GbE RJ-45 port expansion module for high-speed copper connections
■XEM-24T, 24 x RJ Point Five ports for high density cabling solutions
■XEM-STK, dual stacking ports for scalability and high availability
