For 40 GbE to 40 GbE connectivity, clients can use the affordable QSFP+ to QSFP+ DAC cables for
distances up to 7 meters. For distances up to 100 m, the 40GBASE-SR4/iSR4 QSFP+ transceivers can
be used with OM3 multimode fiber or up to 150 m when using OM4 multimode fiber. For distances up to
300 m, the 40GBASE-eSR4 QSFP+ transceiver can be used with OM3 multimode fiber or up to 400 m
when using OM4 multimode fiber. For distances up to 10 km, the 40GBASE-LR QSFP+ transceiver can
be used with single mode fiber.
For 4 Gb or 8 Gb FC links (supported on Omni Ports only), you can use 8 Gb FC SFP+ SW optical
transceivers plus LC fiber optics cables for distances up to 150 m with 50 µ multi-mode fiber or up to 21
