Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by Broadcom and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation
performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 60825 and EN60825. Optical products
that do not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.
For Class 1M transceiver specifications, see Brocade X7 Director Technical Specifications.
For current information on qualified transceivers supported by this device, refer to the Brocade Fibre Channel Transceiver
Platform Support Matrix and Brocade Transceiver Module Resources . These resources include transceiver data sheets.
Port and Extension Blade Transceivers
FC SFP+ transceivers installed in port blades and extension blade ports provide connections to devices on FC fabrics.

GbE SFP+ and QSFP ports on extension blades allow connection of blades to IP WANs and allow Fibre Channel and
IP I/O traffic to pass through the IP WAN through extension tunnels. The following illustration shows a typical SFP+
transceiver that uses a bail latching mechanism to release the transceiver from the blade port cage. A separate fiber optic
cable plugs into the transceiver.
