X2 Transceiver for 10 Gbps Links

The Brute Networks X2 module delivers 10 Gbps Ethernet over multi-mode fibre at an 850 nm wavelength. It fits switches that accept the X2 form factor and use SC duplex connectors. The unit operates across a 0 °C to 70 °C commercial temperature range. It is built as a third-party alternative that matches the original HP J8436A part number.

SC Duplex Connector Enables Direct Fibre Patch

A single SC duplex port connects straight to standard multi-mode patch cables without adapters. The transceiver supports both 62.5 µm and 50 µm core fibre, covering common OM1 and OM2 plant. LED indicators show power, link activity, full-duplex status and speed at a glance. Physical dimensions are 3.5 in wide, 1.4 in deep and .4 in high.

300 Metre Reach Defines the Deployment

The 300 m maximum distance on multi-mode fibre sets the limit for link length in the data centre or campus. Builders planning longer runs must choose a different optic. Compatibility is confirmed for ProCurve 3400cl and 6400cl series switches. The module weighs 2 oz and carries a lifetime warranty from the supplier.

Questions about this item

Will the SC duplex connector need periodic cleaning or replacement after extended use?

The SC duplex interface uses standard multimode ferrules; cleaning with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol restores performance, and the connector itself is rated for the module's operating life.

What distance limit appears first when running 10 Gbps continuously over multimode fibre?

The 300 m reach on 62.5 µm or 50 µm multimode fibre is the primary distance constraint; beyond that the 850 nm signal attenuates below the receiver sensitivity.

How much heat does the module add to a fully populated chassis running all day?

Operating at 0–70 °C commercial temperature, the transceiver draws minimal power typical for X2 SR optics and relies on the host switch airflow for cooling.
