Connection to the 4-Port 10 GE Module is supported through either optical or copper cables. Cables and connectors come in either of the following options:
Standalone SFP+ port transceivers that plug into an empty port cage on the module. The optical Gigabit Ethernet cable then inserts into the transceiver. Use this arrangement if you will be connecting the 4-Port 10 GE module to an optical environment.
An SFP+ cable (passive or active copper cabling):
Active copper cabling is a Gigabit Ethernet copper cable with the SFP+ port transceiver embedded into both ends of the cable. Because the SFP+ transceiver is part of the cable, the cable then plugs into the empty port cage on the 4-Port 10 GE Module.
Passive copper cabling does not have the transceiver embedded. Use this arrangement if you will be connecting the 4-Port 10 GE module to a copper environment.
Supported transceivers and cables are available from Oracle or a third-party. If you will be purchasing transceivers and cables from a third party vendor, make sure to order one of the supported types listed in Figure 2, Table 2, Supported SFP+ Optical Transceivers or Figure 3, Table 3, Supported SFP+ Copper Cables.
