km, and 70 km. Alternatively, you can use a direct attach cable (10GBASE-CX) to connect ports for
cable distances of up to 15 meters.
Procedure
1. Determine the required reach.
2. Determine wavelength restrictions or requirements.
3. Use the following job aid for more information about SFP+ transceivers or cables for your
application.
Job aid
SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable input and output interface devices that allow 10 Gigabit
connections.
All Extreme Networks SFP+ transceivers use LC connectors to provide precision keying and low
interface losses.
The following table lists and describes the branded SFP+ models.
Important:
Extreme Networks recommends using the transceivers documented in this document as they
have been through extensive qualification and testing. Extreme Networks is not responsible for
issues related to third party transceivers.
For more information about SFP+ specifications, see SFP+ specifications on page 38.
To determine the appropriate SFP+ transceiver or cable for your application, see Supported
transceiver, BOCs and DACs information on page 16.
SFP+ specifications
This section provides technical specifications for the supported 10 Gigabit SFP+ models. Use these
specifications to aid in network design.
The specifications in this section are a subset of the IEEE 802.3ae, 802.3aq, and 802.3ak
specifications. For more information, see these standards documents. All Extreme Networks SFP+
transceivers meet or exceed these standards.
The Extreme Networks SFP+ transceivers listed in this document support Digital Diagnostic
Monitoring (DDM). Third party SFP+ transceivers may support DDM. However, Extreme Networks
does not provide support for DDM related issues on third party transceivers.
Important:
• The VSP switches allow the use of SFP+ transceivers from any vendor. Extreme Networks
does not provide support for operational issues related to SFP+ transceivers that are not
listed in this document as supported transceivers. The switch logs the device as an
unsupported or unknown device.
