Switches in this series support 10 Gbps SFP+ ports. SFP+ technology allows a
smooth transition from 10/100/1000 Mbps to 10 Gbps Ethernet infrastructures in
switches. This switch supports both fiber and copper cabling solutions.
For low-cost cabling, copper-based 10 Gbps Twinaxial cables can be used, and for
longer cable reaches, Short-Reach (SR) optical transceivers are excellent.
Connectivity can be established from the SFP+ ports to 10 Gbps Ethernet switches or
hosts using a fiber or copper cable that has SFP+ transceivers installed on both ends.
The figure below illustrates how to insert SFP+ transceivers into the switch's SFP+
ports:
