Cable Specifications on page 47
Standards Supported by These Cables on page 48
SFP+ direct attach cables are available in three lengths and are supported on SFP+ uplink
module ports in J-EX4500 switches:
1 m (3.3 ft)
3 m (9.9 ft)
7 m (23 ft)
NOTE: We recommend that you use only SFP+ direct attach cables purchased
from Dell with J-EX Series switches.
The cables are hot-removable and hot-insertable: You can remove and replace them
without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions. A cable comprises a
low-voltage cable assembly that connects directly into two SFP+ ports, one at each end
of the cable. The cables use high-performance integrated duplex serial data links for
bidirectional communication and are designed for data rates up to 10 Gbps.
Table 20 on page 48 describes the cable specifications.
