IBM BNT RackSwitch G8124

3

With the flexibility of the G8124 switch, clients can take advantage of the technologies that they require for 
multiple environments. For 10 Gb uplinks, they have a choice of either SFP+ transceivers (SR or LR) for 
longer distances or more cost-effective and lower-power-consuming options such as SFP+ 
direct-attached cables (DAC or Twinax cables), which can be 1 - 8.5 meters in length and are ideal for 
connecting chassis together, connecting to a Top of Rack switch, or even connecting to an adjacent rack.

The G8124 module part numbers include the following items:
