17
 FCoE I/O module comes with two FCoE 
ports, one power/fault LED, and a link and activity LED for each port (Figure 45). 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

17. 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+ transceiver module when so ordered.
