4.3 Transceiver and Optical Modules for 10 GbE
Connectivity
Note:
The 10GbE transceiver modules are applicable for the Dual-Port 10 Gigabit-
Ethernet PCIe 2.0 Copper/Fiber SFP+ card and not applicable to the
Universal Fiber cards.
To use the 10 GbE network ports, you must provide Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus
(SFP+) transceivers and/or cables (either optical or copper) to connect the network
ports to your existing 10 GbE network infrastructure. The Oracle Exalytics In-Memory
Machine does not ship with SFP+ transceivers or 10 GbE cables. You must purchase
them separately.For copper cables, you can purchase the following cables from
Oracle. These cables have built-in SFP+ transceivers, and there is no need to
purchase separate SFP+ transceivers for the network ports on the Oracle Exalytics In-
Memory Machine.

For optical cables, you must purchase SFP+ transceivers (either Short Range (SR) or
Long Range (LR)) for each of the network ports, and then plug in the appropriate
optical cable. Currently Oracle sells both the SR and LR SFP+ transceivers.

In addition to these transceivers, you must purchase the appropriate LC-LC terminated
fiber optic cables from a third party vendor.
