Citrix ADC MPX
A Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) is a compact transceiver that can operate at speeds of up to 1
gigabit per second. It is available in both copper and fiber types. Inserting a 1G SFP copper transceiver
converts the 1G SFP port to a 1000BASE-T port. Inserting a 1G SFP fiber transceiver converts the 1G SFP
port to a 1000BASE-X port.
Auto-negotiation is enabled by default on the ports into which you insert your transceiver. When a
link between the port and the network is established, the mode is matched on both ends of the cable
for the transceivers. The speed is also auto-negotiated.
Install and remove transceivers
Notes:
The 1G SFP transceiver is hot-swappable. The 40G QSFP+/10G SFP+ transceivers are hot-
swappable on the Citrix ADC appliances that use the ixgbe (ix) interface. >
The 100G ports support native 40G/50G/100G transceivers, direct attach copper cables (DAC)
and active optical cables (AOC).
Native 10G and 25G transceivers are supported on appliances that do not have 10G and 25G ports,
but require the use of an SFP+ to QSFP+ adapter. Contact your Citrix representative to purchase
this adapter.
Citrix ADC appliances do not support transceivers from vendors other than Citrix Systems. At-
tempting to install third-party transceivers on your Citrix ADC appliance voids the warranty.
Do not install the transceivers with the cables attached. Doing so can damage the cable, the
connector, or the optical interface of the transceiver.
Frequent installation and removal of transceivers shortens their life span. Follow the removal
