This module provides two ultra-high-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections with optional XFP ports for fiber connection.

10-Gigabit Ethernet is a standards-based method for connecting at performance 10x that of Gigabit Ethernet, and is the perfect aggregation technology when deploying gigabit to the desktop or for interconnecting core and distribution switches.

Provides two high-performance 10-Gigabit fiber optic connections between devices for bandwidth-intensive applications.

Uses industry-standard XFP modular transceivers, sold separately, to provide a flexible physical media connection. View under "Required and Optional Products" to see the list of 3Com XFP transceivers qualified for this module.

Provides a migration path from multiple aggregated Gigabit Ethernet links to high performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch-to-switch connections.

Inserts easily into the expansion slot at the back of any model of the Switch 5500G-EI family.
