Cisco MDS 9700 Series User Manual

SFP+ Transceiver Specifications
The Cisco MDS 9700 Series switch is compatible with SFP+ transceivers and cables that have LC connectors.
The wavelength of each transceiver must match the transceiver on the other end of the cable, and the cable
must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
Cisco SFP+ transceivers provide the uplink interfaces, laser transmit (Tx) and laser receive (Rx), and support
850 to 1610 nm nominal wavelengths, depending upon the transceiver.
Use only genuine Cisco SFP+ transceivers in Cisco MDS 9700 Series switches. Each Cisco SFP+ transceiver
is encoded with serial number, vendor name, and other parameters that enable Cisco NX-OS to verify that
the transceiver meets the requirements of the switch. If discrepancies are found, the SFP+ will be allowed to
function, if possible, but will cause a warning syslog message to be generated. Cisco TAC does not support
switch ports populated with non-Cisco SFP+ transceivers.
