Supported Network Hardware
These ports support the following network hardware.
1. RJ45
This port provides 1Gbase-TX/10Gbase-TX operation. It is connected via UTP cable terminated with a
RJ45 connector.
1G operation is indicated by a blinking amber light. 1G operation is not recommended for large-scale
data transfers to the Snowball device, as it will dramatically increase the time it takes to transfer data.
10G operation is indicated by a blinking green light. It requires a Cat6A UTP cable with a maximum
operating distance of 180 feet(55 meters).
2. SFP+
This port provides an SFP+ interface compatible with both SFP+ transceiver modules and direct-attach
copper (DAC) cables. You need to provide your own transceivers or DAC cables. Examples include:
