Planning the cabling scheme

Use SFP+ cables or SFP+ transceiver modules and fibers to connect the IRF member switches. If the IRF
member switches are far away from one another, choose the SFP+ transceiver modules with optical fibers.
If the IRF member switches are all in one equipment room, choose SFP+ cables.
Table 12 lists the SFP+ transceiver modules and SFP+ cables available for IRF connections.
