SFP Transceiver Specifications
The Cisco MDS 9100 Series is compatible with SFP transceivers and cables that have LC connectors.
Each transceiver must match the transceiver on the other end of the cable in terms of wavelength, and
the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
Cisco SFP transceivers provide the uplink interfaces, laser transmit (TX), and laser receive (RX), and
they support 850 to 1610 nm nominal wavelengths, depending upon the transceiver.
Use only Cisco SFP transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9100 Series. Each Cisco SFP transceiver is encoded
with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements
for the switch. For the list of supported SFP transceivers, see the release notes.

Each power supply should have its own dedicated branch circuit.
For international, circuits should be sized according to local and national codes.
The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding
conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service
equipment.
