Figure 2-10 on page 2-10 shows the major features of the SFP+ optical transceiver used for uplink
connections. For specifications that apply to these optical transceivers, see the “SFP+ Optical
Transceiver Specifications” section on page B-6.
Figure 2-11 on page 2-10 shows the major features of the SFP+ copper transceiver and cable used for
uplink connections. For the cable specifications that apply to these transceivers, see the “SFP+ Copper
Transceiver Specifications” section on page B-7.
Figure 2-12 on page 2-11 shows the major features of RJ-45 connectors, which are used for the downlink
connections.
Cisco Nexus 2232PP FEX
The Cisco Nexus 2232PP FEX is a stackable 1- and 10-Gigabit FEX that has 32 1- and 10-Gbps Ethernet
host-facing (downlink) SFP or SFP+ ports and eight 10-Gbps Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE) network-facing (uplink) SFP+ or FET ports. It requires a 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack for its
installation. Table 2-7 lists its physical characteristics.
