SFP+ Transceivers
The enhanced small-form-factor pluggable (SFP+) 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver module (see
Table 1-5) is a bidirectional device with a transmitter and receiver in the same physical package. It has
a 20-pin connector on the electrical interface and duplex LC connector on the optical interface.The Cisco
Nexus 5548 switch supports the following SFP+ optical transceivers:
• SR
• DCR, SR-Lite (shorter reach than SR)
• LRM (for uplink only)
• LR (for uplink only)
