XFP modules can be installed or replaced in an Extreme Networks switch, I/O module, or router without powering off the system. All Extreme Networks XFP modules comply with IEEE 802.3ae standards and with the latest XFP MSA (multi-source agreement).

Extreme Networks switches and modules support the following types of XFP modules. Each type has an LC duplex connector.
