Supported transceivers and cables
The 36-port 100GbE, 60-port 40GbE, or 240-port 10GbE ex-speed interface module requires QSFP28 optics for 100GbE
connectivity, QSFP+ optics for 40GbE connectivity, and 40GbE-to-10GbE breakouts for 10GbE connectivity.
The 72-port 10GbE/1GbE interface module requires SFP+ optics for 10GbE connectivity and SFP optics for 1GbE connectivity.
For current information about transceivers and cables that is supported by this device, refer to the Brocade Ethernet Optics Family
Datasheet on www.brocade.com and to the current SLX-OS17r.1.00 for SLX 9850 Release Notes .
Time and items required
The installation or replacement procedure for one transceiver takes less than 5 minutes. Ensure that the following items are available:
• Required number of compatible power cables
• Required number of supported Brocade-branded transceivers
• Required number of compatible
ber-optic cables
• Optical transceiver extraction tool (for 10 Gbps transceiver only)
NOTE
Most Brocade devices come with a transceiver extraction tool and holster. The extraction tool is designed to remove
transceivers from modules where the space is limited.
