Environmental Conditions and Power Requirements.
●
Operating temperature range: 32 to 158°F (0 to 70°C ).
●
Storage temperature range: -40 to 185°F (-40 to 85° C).
●
The maximum power consumption per Cisco XFP module is 3.5W.

Note:
1. Parameters are specified over temperature and at end of life unless otherwise noted.
2. When shorter distances of single-mode fiber are used, an inline optical attenuator (10-dB) must be used to
avoid overloading and damaging the receiver.
