Transceivers and cables
With the flexibility of the BladeCenter Virtual Fabric 10Gb Switch Module, clients can use the technologies
that are required for the following environments:
For 1 GbE links, clients can use RJ-45 SFP transceivers with UTP cables up to 100 meters. Clients
that need longer distances can use a 1000BASE-SX transceiver, which can drive distances up to
220 meters by using 62.5 µ multi-mode fiber and up to 550 meters with 50 µ multi-mode fiber, or
the 1000BASE-LX transceivers that support distances up to 10 kilometers by using single-mode
fiber (1310 nm).
For 10 GbE (on external SFP+ ports), clients can use SFP+ direct-attached copper (DAC) cables for
in-rack cabling and distances up to 7 meters. These DAC cables have SFP+ connectors on each
end, and they do not need separate transceivers. For longer distances, the 10GBASE-SR
transceiver can support distances up to 300 meters over OM3 multimode fiber or up to 400 meters
over OM4 multimode fiber. The 10GBASE-LR transceivers can support distances up to 10
kilometers on single mode fiber. For extended distances, the 10GBASE-ER transceivers can
support distances up to 40 kilometers on single mode fiber.
The supported cables and transceivers are listed in Table 2.
