Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) I/O module
The two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax
1
FCoE I/O module (labeled 10 GbE/FCoE on
the latch handle) comes with two FCoE ports, one power/fault LED, and a link and activity
LED for each port, as shown in Figure 46. The ports on this I/O module can interface at
speeds up to 10 Gb/s for Fibre Channel over Ethernet networks. The two-port 10-Gb/s
FCoE I/O module uses the SFP transceiver module. For part number label location, see the
VNX5500 Parts Location Guide

1. 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 the SFP+ when so ordered.
