On the Cisco UCS 6200 platforms, you can use an innovative Twinax copper cable that connects to standard
SFP+ connectors for in-rack use, and on optical cable for longer cable runs.
For in-rack or adjacent-rack cabling, the Cisco UCS 6200 platform supports SFP+ direct-attach 10-Gigabit
Ethernet copper, which integrates transceivers with Twinax cables into an energy efficient, low-cost, and
low-latency solution. SFP+ direct-attach 10-Gigabit Twinax copper cables use only 0.1 watts of power per
transceiver and introduce only approximately 0.25 microsecond of latency per link.
For longer cable runs, the Cisco UCS 6200 platform supports multimode, short-reach optical SFP+ transceivers.
These optical transceivers use approximately 1 W per transceiver and have a latency of less than 0.1
microsecond.
