The 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper line cards support Category 6, 6A, and 7 type cabling.
The 8-port and 16-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber line cards support the Cisco 10GBASE-CX4, -SR, -LRM, -LX4, -LR,
and -ER X2 modules.
The 4-port fiber line card supports the Cisco 10GBASE-CX4, -SR, -LRM, -LX4, -LR, -ER, -ZR, -DWDM, -WDM-REC,
and -LW XENPAK modules.
XENPAK and X2 of the same type (for example, XENPAK SR and X2 SR) can be connected to each other.
Table 2 summarizes pluggable optics supported on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules.

To calculate the exact distances that your module will support before installation, see optical specifications in the XENPAK and X2
data sheets. The exact distance supported varies according to the number of splices and connectors in a single-mode fiber strand.

According to the IEEE 802.3ae standard, requires 5 dB 1550 nm fixed loss attenuator for <20 km; a 5 dB fixed loss attenuator is
available as a spare (part number WS-X6K-5DB-ATT=).

To comply with EMI, version -02 or later of SR, LR, ER, LX4, and CX4 X2 optics are required for WS-X6708-10G-3C and WS-
X6708-10G-3CXL; and version -02 or later of SR and CX4, version -03 or later of ER, and version -04 or later of LR and LX4 X2
optics are required for WS-X6716-10G-3C and WS-X6716-10G-3CXL. This restriction does not apply to LRM. See release the
notes or external Q&A for more details.

Any passive multiplexer and demultiplexer can be used with the DWDM XENPAKs. The Cisco ONS 15216 Flexlayer filters are
one of the options.
