Applications and Optical Link Design
Use this module for equipment interconnection over the specified single-mode fiber plant, including enterprise backbone, campus, metro or data-center interconnect links according to its rated distance. Confirm that both ends use the same optical standard and wavelength plan, and allow for connector, splice and patch-panel loss within the stated power budget.
Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The XFP interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a X2 housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.
The single-mode link budget should include fiber attenuation, connectors, splices and panels over the intended 10km route. Keep the SC duplex interface clean and match the remote optical standard. Consider receiver overload as well as insufficient power on short links.
Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling
For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -8.2~0.5dBm; receiver sensitivity is < -14.4dBm. During commissioning, record the host diagnostic readings after the link has stabilized and compare them with those limits. DOM values are useful operational indicators, but they do not replace calibrated optical measurements when a link is marginal. Investigate unexpected loss through connector inspection, cleaning and a channel measurement before replacing the module. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.
Procurement and Asset Identification
A useful purchase order identifies the host platform, expected OEM code and optical standard separately. This prevents a module with the same housing but another wavelength, reach or identification profile from being substituted. For mixed deployments, keep one order line per OEM reference and reconcile each received unit with its intended port. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 10Gbps, wavelength 1310nm, rated reach 10km.
QLogic Compatibility and Factory Testing
Factory verification starts with the expected X2-LW-01 identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
Ordering Information
When ordering, specify X2-LW-01, X2-LW-01, quantity and intended host platform. Project labels can repeat these details for receiving and asset records. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original QLogic transceiver?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies X2-LW-01, not an original QLogic-branded module.
Which fiber and connector are required?
Use SC duplex with SMF. The specified maximum reach is 10km, subject to fiber quality and total link loss.
Can it be mixed with another wavelength or reach version?
Only when the two ends share the same optical standard, wavelength plan and supported data rate. Check the exact part numbers and link budget rather than relying only on the module form factor.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
