CONFIGURING the CHASSIS
Choose Twinax Copper Cables
You can choose twinax copper cables of various lengths (from 1 to 10 meters) as shown in
Table 8
. The two longer cables (7 and 10 meters) are active, which means that they contain
active components within the SFP+ connector housing to improve signal quality. The ends of
these cables are connectorized and plug directly into the Fabric Extender SFP receptacles on
one end and into the Fabric Interconnect SFP receptacles on the other end.
Approved Configurations
(1) Choose the number of transceivers or copper twinax cables according to the number of
Fabric Extender ports that are active that or will be become active in the future.
Caveats
■
You should order enough SFPs and cables to accommodate your maximum forseeable needs.
