SFP+ Transceivers
The enhanced Small-Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver is a bidirectional
device with a transmitter and receiver. It has a 20-pin connector on the electrical interface and duplex
LC connector on the optical interface. Currently, the Cisco Nexus 2224TP FEX supports the short-range
SFP and long-range SFP transceiver. Table 1-20 describes the SFP+ transceivers used with the Cisco
Nexus 2224TP FEX.
SFP+ Copper Cables
Copper interface cables are available for use with the 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ transceiver. Table 1-21
lists the available cables and provides a brief description of the cables.
