SFP+ Transceivers Fibre Optic And SAS Cables
NOTE: Your small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) transceivers and cables may look different from the
ones shown below. The differences do not affect the performance of the SFP+ transceivers.
FC host connections may operate at 4 Gbps, 8 Gbps, or 16 Gbps. Ports for 16 Gbps Fibre Channel host
connections require SFP+ transceivers designed for this data rate. SFP+ transceivers that support other
data rates are incompatible.
WARNING: Do not disassemble or remove any part of a SFP+ transceiver due to the possibility of
being exposed to laser radiation.
