Which combination and quantity of ports does the AnyRate Xponder card have?

The correct answer is A. 8 SFP and 2 XFP. Option A (8 SFP + 2 XFP) is correct because the AnyRate Xponder card is designed with 8 client-side SFP ports for lower-speed interfaces and 2 XFP ports for higher-speed line-side or uplink connections - a hardware specification fixed by the card's design.

Explanation

Option A (8 SFP + 2 XFP) is correct because the AnyRate Xponder card is designed with 8 client-side SFP ports for lower-speed interfaces and 2 XFP ports for higher-speed line-side or uplink connections - a hardware specification fixed by the card's design. Options B and C are wrong because the AnyRate Xponder does not use SFP+ or QSFP form factors; those belong to different card families with higher bandwidth requirements. Option D is incorrect because CPAK is a Cisco-proprietary 100G form factor not associated with this card. A helpful memory tip: think "8+2, S before X" - 8 SFP (smaller/slower) come first, then 2 XFP (larger/faster) - matching the card's client-to-line-side architecture.
