• For a VIC1225T 10GBASE-T copper module, use 10GBASE-T cables with RJ-45 connectors.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the interface cable to a downlink port on a leaf switch.
• For a Cisco 10GBASE-LR or -SR transceiver and cable, insert the transceiver into a downlink optical port on a leaf
switch before connecting the cable to the transceiver.
• For Cisco SFP+ Active Optical Cables, insert the transceiver on the cable into a downlink optical port on a leaf
switch.
• For a 10GBASE-T copper cable, insert the RJ-45 connector on the cable into a downlink BASE-T port on a leaf
switch.

Note
Connecting Leaf Switches to Spine Switches
For optimal forwarding between endpoints, you must connect each leaf switch to every spine switch in the
same ACI fabric.
