Chapter 4: Supported transceiver, BOCs
and DACs
Supported transceiver, BOCs and DACs information
For information on the support (compatibility) of transceiver modules, breakout cables (BOC) and
direct access cables (DAC) on VSP switches, see the Website: Supported transceivers, BOCs and
DACs.
This Website displays only those transceiver modules that are currently supported and available in
the price book. Not all Extreme Networks Ethernet switching and routing products support all the
transceivers listed in this page.
Important:
Extreme Networks recommends using those SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, and QSFP28 transceivers
that are listed as supported, as they have been through extensive qualification and
testing.Extreme Networks will not be responsible for issues related to third party transceivers.
For information on the newer transceiver modules that are supported by Extreme Networks switches
and routers, including information on how to install and use them, see
Pluggable Transceivers
Installation Guide.
Transceiver support
The following sections detail additional support information on transceivers.
SFP support
Extreme Networks supports SFP transceivers with the following part numbers: AA1419013–E5,
AA1419014–E5, AA1419015–E5, and AA1419025–E5 to AA1419040–E5. However, Extreme
Networks strongly recommends using the newer DDI versions of these SFP transceivers.
SFP+ support
The VSP 7254XSQ has a PHYless design which is typical for Data Center Top of Rack switches.
The benefits of a PHYless design are lower power consumption and lower latency. However, due to
the PHYless design, the 10GBASE-LRM SFP+ is not supported on the VSP 7254XSQ.
