• For a
VIC 1455
SFP28 module, 10-Gigabit only, use one of the following sets of transceivers and cables:
• Cisco 10GBASE-LR transceivers (SFP-10G-LR) supporting a link length of up to 6.1 miles (10 km)
• Cisco 10GBASE-SR transceivers (SFP-10G-SR) supporting the following link lengths:
• Using 2000 MHz MMF (OM3) for up to 984 feet (300 m)
• Using 4700 MHz MMF (OM4) for up to 1312 feet (400 m)
• Cisco SFP+ Active Optical Cables (SFP-10G-AOC
x
M [where
x
=1, 2, 3, 5, 7, or 10 for lengths in meters])
• Cisco SFP+ Twinax Cables (SFP-H10GB-CU

Step 2
Connect the other end of the interface cable to a downlink port on a leaf switch.
• For a Cisco 10GBASE-LR or -SR transceiver and cable, insert the transceiver into a downlink optical port on a leaf
switch before connecting the cable to the transceiver.
• For Cisco SFP+ Active Optical Cables, insert the transceiver on the cable into a downlink optical port on a leaf
switch.
• For a 10GBASE-T copper cable, insert the RJ-45 connector on the cable into a downlink BASE-T port on a leaf
switch.

Note
Connecting Leaf Switches to Spine Switches
For optimal forwarding between endpoints, you must connect each leaf switch to every spine switch in the
same ACI fabric.
