Transceivers And Cables - Lenovo Flex System SI4091 10Gb Product Manual

Transceivers and cables

With the flexibility of the SI4091 module, customers can choose the following connectivity technologies:
For 1 GbE links, customers can use RJ-45 SFP transceivers with UTP cables up to 100 meters.
Customers that need longer distances can use a 1000BASE-SX transceiver, which can drive distances
up to 220 meters with 62.5 µ multimode fiber (OM1) and up to 550 meters with 50 µ multimode fiber
(OM2), or the 1000BASE-LX transceivers that support distances up to 10 kilometers with single-mode
fiber (1310 nm).
For 10 GbE links, customers can use SFP+ direct-attached copper (DAC) cables for in-rack cabling for
distances up to 7 meters or SFP+ active optical cables (AOCs) for distances up to 20 meters. These
cables have SFP+ connectors on each end, and they do not need separate transceivers. For distances
up to 30 meters, the 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceiver can be used with Category 6a or 7 RJ-45 UTP
cables.
For longer distances, the 10GBASE-SR transceiver supports distances up to 300 meters over OM3
multimode fiber or up to 400 meters over OM4 multimode fiber. The 10GBASE-LR transceivers can
support distances up to 10 kilometers on single mode fiber. For extended distances, the 10GBASE-ER
transceivers can support distances up to 40 kilometers on single mode fiber.
The supported transceivers and cables are listed in the following table.
