• Provides flexibility of interface choice
• Supports "pay-as-you-populate" model
• Supports the digital optical monitoring capability
• Supports the Cisco quality identification (ID) feature that helps enable a Cisco switch or router to identify whether the module is a Cisco certified and tested XFP
• Supports optical interoperability with respective Cisco 10GBASE XENPAK and X2, and SFP+ modules on the same link
