F-tone X2 is a standardized form factor for 10 Gb/s fiber optic transponders that is used for data transfer rates from 10.3 Gb/s to 10.5 Gb/s. It is protocol-specific: Either 10G Ethernet or 10G Fibre Channel versions are available. X2 transponders are used in datacom optical links only (not telecom), and they are smaller than old generation XENPAK transponders. Its electrical interface to the host board is also standardized and is called XAUI (4 x 3.125 Gb/s). F-tone manufactures X2 300m, X2 10km, X2 20km, X2 40km, X2 80km optical modules. All modules support Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) function . More customers prefer to use X2 SR, X2 LR, X2 ER, X2 ZR based on X2 to SFP+ converter and SFP+ transceiver. XENPAK SR, XENPAK LR, XENPAK ER, XENPAK ZR is based only on XENPAK to SFP+ converter and SFP+ transceiver.
