The 10 GigE Small Form-Factor Pluggable Long Reach DWDM Extended Temperature XFP (LR-2 XFP) 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 Gbps. Installed in the appropriate host module, the LR-2 XFP provides a 10 Gigabit interface to the supporting system.
The transmit side of the LR-2 XFP converts serial NRZ electrical data at the 10 Gbps line rate to a standard compliant optical signal. The receive side converts the incoming DC balanced serial NRZ optical data at the 10 Gbps line rate into serial electrical data.
