Note: SFP+ (small form-factor pluggable plus) transceivers are not included.
With the flexibility of the BNT switch, clients can take advantage of the technologies they require for
multiple environments. For 1 Gb uplinks, they can take advantage of SFP transceivers. For 10Gb uplinks,
they have a choice of either SFP+ transceivers (SR or LR) for longer distances or more cost effective and
lower power consuming options such as SFP+ direct-attached cables (DAC), which can be 1-7 meters in
length and are ideal for connecting chassis together, connecting to a top-of-rack switch, or even
connecting to an adjacent rack.
Table 2 shows additional transceivers and direct-attach cable options that are available directly from BNT.
These are in addition to the 10GBase-SR SFP+ transceiver available from IBM listed in Table 1.
