The following sections describe how to connect devices to the adapter using different
cable types.
Connecting Devices to Adapters Using a DAC or AOC
Cable
The following adapters can be connected to a DAC or AOC cable:
OCe14101B-NX
OCe14102B-NX
OCe14102B-UX
OCe14104B-NX
OCe14104B-UX
OCe14401B-NX
OCe14401B-UX
An adapter does not allow normal data transmission on a copper link unless it is
connected to a compatible copper interface connection. The cable and connector
specifications are listed in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2.
To attach devices to the adapter:
1. Connect the cable to the adapter. When connecting a DAC or AOC cable, ensure
that the SFP+ cages do not have optical transceivers installed in them. To remove
optical transceivers, see “Preparing the Adapter for Installation” on page 16.
