Description
Maximum
supported
* SFP+ and QSFP+ based adapters require supported transceivers or DAC cables that must be purchased for the adapter (See
"40 Gb QSFP+ transceivers and DAC cables" and "10 Gb SFP+ transceivers and DAC cables" in the table above).
** The maximum number of transceivers or cables that are supported per adapter equals the quantity of the adapter ports. All
adapter ports must have the same type of transceiver or DAC cable selected.
