Note We strongly recommend configuring port pairs as FC only or GE only. Mixing FC and GE in a port pair increases the FC signal latency between nodes.

The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card uses single-mode and multimode SFP optics for the client signals. There are no restrictions on populating the line card with SFPs. For example, you can mix a single-mode SFP optic with a multimode SFP optic in the same port pair. Table 1-12lists features for the SFP optics supported by the 8-port FC/GE aggregation card.
