Supported Transceiver Modules
The network ports on the 8x1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP NIM support SFP transceivers. The 10-Gigabit Ethernet
ports on the 4x10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ NIM support SFP+ transceivers.
This section describes the optical interfaces supported for the SFP and SFP+ transceivers and the copper
interfaces supported for the SFP transceivers.
Note: It is recommended that you use the optical transceivers and optical connectors purchased from Cisco
for your vEdge routers.
The tables below describe the optical interface support over single-mode fiber-optic (SMF) and multimode
fiber-optic (MMF) cables for SFP and SFP+ transceivers and over the copper interface for SFP transceivers.
