NoteThe dual SC connectors on the X2 transceiver modules support network interface cables with either
Physical Contact (PC) or Ultra-Physical Contact (UPC) polished face types. The dual SC connectors on
the X2 transceiver modules do not support network interface cables with an Angle Polished Connector
(APC) polished face type.

1. Minimum cabling distance for optical X2 transceivers is 2 meters according to the IEEE 802.3ae standard.
2. Requires a 5-dB 1550-nm, fixed-loss attenuator for distances less than 20 km.
3. For distances up to 30 km, no special link design rules need to be considered. Link distances beyond 30 km require that you
verify the cable characteristics, especially the cable's loss value.
4. When shorter distances of SMF are used, an inline optical attenuator (10 dB) must be used to avoid overloading and damaging
the receiver.
