Appendix A Specifications
4-Port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC Aggregation Card
4-Port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC Aggregation Card
The 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation cards support the SFPs listed in Table A-13. The optical
power characteristics of the supported SFPs are listed in the SFP Specifications section. Only use
Cisco-certified SFPs for the 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation cards. If the specifications of the
client equipment interfaces do not fall within these ranges, attenuators or amplifiers might be required.
Note The optical specifications described in this section are only for the individual components and should
not be used to characterize the entire network performance.
