2-port CX4 module
The 2-port CX4 module (part number FGS-2XGC) is optional for FGS and FGS-STK devices. You can
order the device with a 2-port CX4 module installed at the factory, or you can upgrade your device
at a later time.
Figure 11 shows a 2-port CX4 module.

2-port 10 Gbps hybrid interface module
The 2-port 10 Gbps hybrid interface module (part number FGS-1XG1XGC) contains a CX4 port and
an XFP port. You can order the device with one a 2-port hybrid module installed at the factory, or
you can upgrade your device. This module contains two 2-port 10 Gbps hybrid uplinks; one for a
10-Gigabit XFP MSA-compliant optical transceiver and one for a 2-port CX4 10-Gigabit XFP
MSA-compliant optical transceiver.
Figure 12 shows the hybrid interface module.

10 Gbps Ethernet XFP transceiver (FGS624XGP models only)
FGX624XGP devices support a 10GbE XFP transceiver specifically in port 1, slot 3. This transceiver
contains two 2-port CX4 uplinks for 10-Gigabit XFP MSA-compliant optical transceivers (part
number FGS-2XGC).
Link and Activity LEDs on the module faceplates indicate operational status:
• If the Lnk LED is on, the port is connected. If the Lnk LED is off, no connection exists, or the link
is down.
• If the Act LED is on or blinking, traffic is being transmitted and received on the port. If the Act
LED is off, no traffic is being transmitted or received on the port.
