Dell EMC provides optical and cabling options for each Ethernet
speed. Long- and short-range optical connectivity options are
suited to a wide range of data center and campus applications.
For the shortest connections, passive copper direct attach cable
(DAC) is a simple and cost-effective solution.
1GbE solutions
1GbE SFP optical transceivers include short-reach (SX),
long-reach (LX) and extended long-reach (ZX). A 1000BASE-T
transceiver facilitates twisted-pair copper connections.
10GbE solutions
10GbE SFP+ optical transceivers include short-reach-lite (USR),
short-reach (SR), long-reach (LR) and extended long-reach (ER
and ZR). The 10GbE SFP+ receptacle will also recognize 1GbE
SFP transceivers. An LRM transceiver supports links up to 220m
over older OM1 and OM2 grade multimode ber. A 10GBASE-T
transceiver facilitates twisted-pair copper connections.
25GbE solutions
25GbE SFP28 optical transceivers include short-reach (SR) and
long-reach (LR) variations. In 25GbE networking environments,
the 100GbE ports on our Z9100-ON, S6100-ON, S4124-ON and
S4148-ON switches can be broken out into four 25GbE lanes
by use of either active optical (AOC) or passive copper (DAC)
breakout cables.
40GbE solutions
40GbE (4×10GbE) QSFP+ optical transceivers include short-
reach (SR4), long-reach (LR4) and extended long-reach (ER4).
In many cases, 1GbE SFP and 10GbE SFP+ optics can be
readily inserted, recognized, and utilized in the 40GbE QSFP+
receptacle through the use of a (QSA28) pluggable adapter. The
adapter supports standard SFP and SFP+ optics in a QSFP+
socket providing backwards compatibility, while the 40GbE
port for future bandwidth expansion. 40GbE QSFP+ ports
support both optical and passive copper (DAC) breakout cables
where the four 10GbE lanes are broken out into four individual
10GbE SFP+ interfaces. This solution can be deployed with
a single active optical cable (AOC) with integrated QSFP+
and SFP+ transceivers or through the use of a passive ber
breakout cable.
