These are 48 slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. A
transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a
transceiver to connect a fiber-optic cable to the Switch. The Switch does not come
with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-
XGS4700-48F User's Guide
