Physical Specifications

SFP+ Optics Cisco Nexus 5500 platform supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ copper Twinax cables for short distances and SFP+
optics (10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, 10GBASE-ER, GLC-ZX-SM and Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender Transceiver
[FET-10G]) for longer distances. SFP+ has several advantages compared to other 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
options:
● Small 10 Gigabit Ethernet form factor
● Optical interoperability with XENPAK, X2, and XFP interface types
● Low power consumption
● Hot-swappable device
● Cisco Nexus 5500 platform products support 8-Gbps Fibre Channel-compatible SFP+ for native Fibre Channel
connectivity options; 8-Gbps Fibre Channel-compatible short-reach and 10-km long-reach SFP transceiver modules
operate at 8/4/2 Gbps and are supported in the 8‑Gbps-capable native Fibre Channel ports on expansion modules and
unified ports
