For in-rack or adjacent-rack cabling, the Cisco Nexus 3172PQ supports SFP+ direct-attach 10 Gigabit
Ethernet copper, an innovative solution that integrates transceivers with Twinax cables into an
energy-efficient and low-cost solution. For longer cable runs, multimode and single-mode optical SFP+
transceivers are supported.
