Two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax iSCSI I/O module
The two-port 10-Gb/s optical or active Twinax
15
iSCSI I/O module comes with two optical
or active twisted pair ports, one power/fault LED, and a link and activity LED for each port
(Figure 41). The optical ports on this I/O module can interface at speeds of 10 Gb/s for
iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) networks
16
. The two-port 10-Gb/s
optical I/O module uses the SFP+ transceiver module.

15. The two-port 10-Gb/s 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.
16. iSCSI is a protocol for sending SCSI packets over TCP/IP networks.
