SFP Properties panel
The SFP Properties panel enables you to display the properties that are associated with a selected
small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver.
Opening the properties panel
1. Select a port in the device tree.
2. Click the SFP or SFP+ tab in the right pane.
NOTE
Only Brocade-branded SFPs are supported with the 8 Gbps FC HBAs and 10 Gbps CNAs.
The 4 Gbps SFP (bundled with the Brocade 415 or 425) is referred to as “SFP,” the 8 Gbps SFP
(bundled with the Brocade 815 or 825), is referred to as “SFP+,” and the 10 Gbps SFP (bundled with
the BR-1010 and BR-1020) is referred to as “XFP.”
Fields and components
Field Description
Port Technology
SFP Supported The name of the supported SFP.
Connector Type The type of port connector; for example, LC. SC, or Cu (copper cable).
Transceiver The type of transceiver; for example, XFP or GBIC.
Media The type of media for the transceiver; for example, single mode.
Speed The port speed. For the HBA, the options are 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps,
4 Gbps, or 8 Gbps. For the 10 Gbps CNA, the only speed option is
auto-negotiate.
Extended Information
Identifier The identifier for the extended link.
Encoding Displays how the extended link is encoded, for example, 8B10B.
Baud Rate The transmission rate, roughly equivalent to the number of bits per
second.
Length 9u The length of the single-mode fiber optic cable, used in situations
where gigabit performance is not required (for distances greater
than 100 meters).
Length 50u The length of the fiber optic cable (for distances greater than 10
meters).
Length 62.5u The length of the fiber optic cable (for distances greater than 10
meters).
Length Cu The length of the copper cable (for distances greater than 1 meter,
where optimum performance is required).
Vendor Name The vendor of the extended link.
Vendor OUI The vendor’s organizational unique identifier (OUI).
