Types of SFP and SFP+ module latches
SFP transceiver modules can have three types of latching devices to secure the SFP or
SFP+ transceiver in a port socket.
◆ SFP or SFP+ transceiver with a Mylar tab latch.
◆ SFP or SFP+ transceiver with an actuator button latch.
◆ SFP or SFP + transceiver that has a bale-clasp latch.
I/O modules using SFP or SFP+ transceiver modules
In the VNX5500 platform, the SFP or SFP+ transceiver modules are located in the ports of
the following I/O modules:
◆ Four-port 8-Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) for 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s speed
◆ Two-port 1-Gb/s copper plus two-port 1-Gb/s optical
◆ Two-port 10-Gb/s optical (labeled 10 GbE iSCSI or 10 GbE v2)
◆ Two-port 10-Gb/s optical
2
(labeled 10 GbE v3)
◆ Two-port 10-Gb/s Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

Types of SFP and SFP+ modules
Three types of SFP or SFP+ modules are used in the I/O modules of the Block and File
VNX5500 platform. Figure 30 on page 36 shows an example of an SFP or SFP+ with a part
number label.
Ensure that you correctly match the SFP or SFP+ module type with the I/O module type.
2. The 10 Gb/s module (labeled 10 GbE v3) can also use active twinaxial (Twinax) cables. Twinax is a
type of cable similar to coax, but with two inner conductors instead of one. These cables will be
supplied in lieu of SFPs when so ordered.
3. The FCoE I/O module can also use active twinaxial (Twinax) cables. Twinax is a type of cable
similar to coax, but with two inner conductors instead of one. These cables will be supplied in lieu
of SFPs when so ordered.
