TwinGig Overview
The Cisco TwinGig Converter Module (model CVR-X2-SFP), also known as a
converter module, is a hot-swappable input/output (I/O) device that slides into a
10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 slot on a switch. It converts the 10-Gigabit X2 interface
into a dual SFP interface. It was developed for the Catalyst 3560-E switch but is
supported on other platforms. The converter module is shown in Figure 1.
OneX Overview
The Cisco OneX Converter Module (model CVR-X2-SFP10G),also known as a
converter module, is a hot-swappable input/output (I/O) device that slides into a
10-Gigabit Ethernet X2 slot on a switch. It converts the 10-Gigabit X2 interface
into a single 10-Gigabit SFP+ interface. It is supported on many platforms using
X2 interfaces. This converter module is shown in Figure 2.
Installing and Removing SFP or SFP+ Modules
This section describes how to install and remove SFP or SFP+ modules in the
converter module slots. You must have the converter module installed in a
10-Gigabit Ethernet switch slot to use SFP or SFP+ modules with the switch.
Figure 5 on page 14 shows the converter module in the switch with the SFP
modules installed.
