Supported Transceivers and Cables
The Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E FEX supports SFP+ Ethernet transceivers. This section includes the
following topics:
SFP Transceivers, page1-16
SFP+ Copper Cables, page1 -17
SFP Transceivers
The enhanced Small-Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver is a bidirectional
device with a transmitter and receiver. It has a 20-pin connector on th e electrical interface and dupl ex
LC connector on the optical interface. Currently, the Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E FEX supports the
short-range SFP and long-range SFP transceiver. Table 1-3 describes the SFP+ transceivers used with
the Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E FEX.
SFP+ Copper Cables
Copper interface cables are available for use with the 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ transceiver. Table 1- 4
lists the available cables and provide s a brief description of the ca bles.
