Connectivity Options—Transceivers and Cables
The Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform supports a wide variety of 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
options using Cisco 10GBASE SFP+ modules. In addition, the Cisco Nexus 5548P supports 1-Gigabit
Ethernet connectivity options using 1GBASE SFP modules, 8-, 4-, and 2-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ and
4-, 2-, and 1-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP interfaces are supported with expansion module options.
This section includes the following topics:
