GbE SFP+ and QSFP ports on extension blades allow connection of blades to IP WANs and allow Fibre Channel and
IP I/O traffic to pass through the IP WAN through extension tunnels. The following illustration shows a typical SFP+
transceiver that uses a bail latching mechanism to release the transceiver from the blade port cage. A separate fiber optic
cable plugs into the transceiver.
