The FC5022 12-port and 24-port ESB SAN switches come without SFP+ media, which must be ordered
separately to provide outside connectivity. The FC5022 24-port SAN switch (part number 00Y3324)
comes standard with two Brocade 16 Gb SFP+ transceivers. Additional SFP+ can be ordered, if required.
Table 2 lists the supported SFP+ options.
