Which optical module does the XiKe switch use

The XiKe switch requires SFP or SFP+ optical modules for its 10G uplink ports, supporting 1G, 2.5G, and 10G speeds, and is compatible with DAC and AOC cables.

Supported Optical Modules

The XiKe switch features a 10G SFP+ uplink port that is highly versatile, supporting adaptive speeds of 1G, 2.5G, and 10G. This port is compatible with:

• SFP modules for 1G or 2.5G fiber connections
• SFP+ modules for 10G fiber connections
• DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cables for short-range high-speed connections
• AOC (Active Optical Cable) cables for longer-range fiber connections

Recommended Modules

For high-speed fiber connectivity, you can use:

• 10G SFP+ optical modules (compatible with standard LC connectors)
• 10G RJ45 optical-to-electrical modules, which allow integration with existing copper Ethernet networks while achieving near 10G speeds These modules are compatible with multiple brands, including Cisco, Huawei, H3C, and Ruijie, ensuring broad interoperability .

Practical Considerations

• Adaptive functionality: The modules can automatically adjust to 1G, 2.5G, or 10G speeds depending on the connected device .
• Installation: Most SFP/SFP+ modules are hot-pluggable, allowing easy installation without powering down the switch .
• Use case: Choose DAC for short distances (up to 7 meters), AOC for longer distances, and fiber SFP/SFP+ modules for standard fiber-optic links. By selecting the appropriate SFP or SFP+ module, you can ensure high-speed, stable, and flexible connectivity for both home and enterprise network setups.
