Cisco X2 Module Question

[Kevin Melton]

I have a client whom has a 4900M switch as their SAN switch.

They are getting ready to upgrade their SAN to use 10G.

I had quoted them a price for an X2 module, but I am unclear based on pictures I have seen of the part number

X2-10GB-SR

whether or not the X2 module plugs into the X2 slot on the switch, AND then also has to have a transceiver put in it to receive the SC ends of the Fiber jumper, or whether the SC ends of the fiber jumper plug into the X2 module directly.

If someone could assist it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

This part number is correct.  It is for an X2 short reach optic, which means you need multimode fiber to use with it.

whether or not the X2 module plugs into the X2 slot on the switch, AND  then also has to have a transceiver put in it to receive the SC ends of  the Fiber jumper, or whether the SC ends of the fiber jumper plug into  the X2 module directly.

You plug in your SC cable connector directly into this optic.  No need for anything else.
