In recent years, we have seen the proliferation of end points in which RJ-45-based 10Gbps connectivity has become more popular. These include rack servers, storage servers, and compute appliances to name a few.
While existing 10GBASE-T switches such as the Cisco® Nexus N93108TC-FX can provide such connectivity today, the introduction of the SFP+ modular form factor enables variety and flexibility in deployment. Instead of having to deploy a second dedicated 10GBASE-T switch, the SFP+ module can enable Cisco 10G and dual rate 10/25Gbps switches and routers to connect to 10GBASE-T RJ-45 endpoints using CAT6A cables
- Enables connectivity to end points where 10GBASE-T RJ45 connectivity has becomemore popular-these include rack servers, storage servers, and compute appliances.
- Multirate capability: 100M/1G/10Gbps
- Autonegotiation capability varies by platform
- Connectivity over CAT5e and CAT6A cables
- Enables 10GBASE-T connectivity on Cisco dual-rate 10/25G switches and routers
