Description
The Cisco 10-2368-03 X2-10GB-LRM (IPU3AASCAC) is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet optical transceiver designed to provide reliable high-speed connectivity over multimode fiber infrastructures. Built in the X2 form factor, this module supports the 10GBASE-LRM standard defined by IEEE 802.3aq and is optimized for operation over installed multimode fiber networks. The transceiver operates at a nominal wavelength of 1310 nm and is capable of transmitting data at speeds of 10 Gbps over multimode fiber links up to approximately 220 meters, depending on the fiber quality and deployment conditions.The module features a duplex LC optical connector and supports hot-swappable installation, enabling network administrators to insert or remove the module without interrupting system operation. This capability simplifies maintenance and facilitates quick upgrades in high-availability networking environments such as enterprise data centers, campus networks, and service provider infrastructures.
The X2-10GB-LRM transceiver is specifically designed to support legacy multimode fiber (MMF) installations commonly found in existing building cabling systems. With advanced optical signal processing and equalization technologies, the module ensures stable signal integrity and reliable performance even over older fiber plant infrastructure. It is widely deployed in compatible Cisco switches and routers requiring dependable 10 Gigabit Ethernet optical uplinks.
