Efficient Transceiver and Cabling Options
The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series supports a wide variety of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options using Cisco
10GBASE SFP+ modules.
In addition, a subset of the ports on the Cisco Nexus 5020 and 5010 support Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options
using 1GBASE SFP modules, 8/4/1-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ and 4/2/1-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP interfaces are
supported with expansion module options.
Table 2 lists the supported transceiver options.
