Note You can use any combination of SFP modules that your Cisco device supports. The only restrictions are that each SFP port must match the wavelength specifications on the other end of the cable and that the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
10-GB Transceivers
The 10-GB transceiver types include the XENPAK transceiver and the X2 transceiver. The XENPAK transceivers and X2 transceivers differ in form-factor; they are not interchangeable. Table B-11lists both 10-GB transceiver types and the modules that support them
Table B-11 10-GB Transceiver Types and Module Support

1.Not all 10-GB transceiver versions may be supported on your module. Refer to your software release notes to determine if a specific 10-GB transceiver is supported on your module.
2.The VS-S720-10G-3C and the VS-S720-10G-3CXL supervisor engines have two 10-Gigabit transceiver uplink ports on the front panel. Normally, the ports support X2 transceivers. By using a OneX converter, the 10-Gigabit port can also support SFP+ transceivers
3.The WS-X6904-40G Ethernet module has four ports that support 40-Gigabit CFP transceivers. By installing a FourX converter in a port, that port can accept up to four SFP+ transceivers.
