Physical Specifications

SFP+ Optics

Cisco Nexus 5500 platform supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ copper Twinax cables for short distances and SFP+ optics (10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, 10GBASE-ER, GLC-ZX-SM and Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender Transceiver [FET-10G]) for longer distances. SFP+ has several advantages compared to other 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options:

●  Small 10 Gigabit Ethernet form factor

●  Optical interoperability with XENPAK, X2, and XFP interface types

●  Low power consumption

●  Hot-swappable device

●  Cisco Nexus 5500 platform products support 8-Gbps Fibre Channel-compatible SFP+ for native Fibre Channel connectivity options; 8-Gbps Fibre Channel-compatible short-reach and 10-km long-reach SFP transceiver modules operate at 8/4/2 Gbps and are supported in the 8?Gbps-capable native Fibre Channel ports on expansion modules and unified ports
