
Data rate: 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps

SFP+ optic modules (Small Form-factor Pluggable) use standard LC-LC coupled-single
fibre jacketed optical connector.

Provides manageability, discovery, and identification capability, such as vendor
identification, module part number, serial number, cable type, using low-speed two-wire
(I2C) interface.

Every 10G port on the switch is connected via an AEL2005 PHY device that can adjust to fit
different types of link characteristics with either optical or copper cables.
The SFP+ cable transmits and receives up to 10 Gbps per port, over a single optical or copper
cable. Active copper and optic cables consume up to 1 Watt. Passive copper cables do not
consume additional power. This appendix provides cabling and port pinout information for the
Grid Director 4036E.
