Installing Transceivers into the
Transceiver Ports
Switches in this series have 48 SPF+ ports and 6
QSFP+ ports. QSFP+ technology allows a smooth
transition from 10 to 40 Gigabit Ethernet
infrastructures in data centers. Each of the switch’s
QSFP+ ports can operate in either native 40 Gigabit
Ethernet mode or 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet mode.
This switch supports both fiber and copper cabling
solutions for these two modes.
