Supported Transceivers Chapter 1 Product Overview For more information about the X2 transceiver, see the "X2 Transceiver Specifications" section on page B-6. For more information about a specific Cisco SFP transceiver, see the "SFP Transceiver Specifications" section on page B-9. SFP transceivers can be ordered separately or with the Cisco MDS 9200 Series. Note Use only Cisco transceivers in the Cisco MDS 9200 Series. Each Cisco transceiver is encoded with model information that enables the switch to verify that the transceiver meets the requirements for the switch. X2 Fibre Channel Transceivers The X2 Fibre Channel transceiver is a small form-factor optimized for 10-Gbps applications and uses an SC connector. The X2 transceiver is ideally suited for Ethernet, Fibre Channel and telecom switches, and standard peripheral component interconnect (PCI)-based server and storage connections. The X2 provides robust thermal performance and electromagnetic shielding. For more information on X2 transceiver specifications, see the "X2 Transceiver Specifications" section on page B-6. Fibre Channel SFP Transceivers Cisco Fibre Channel SFP transceivers are available in SWL or LWL versions. Both of these versions are 1-Gbps/2-Gbps/4-Gbps capable. Cisco Fibre Channel SFP transceivers have LC connectors and comply with 1-Gbps/2-Gbps/4-Gbps Fibre Channel standards. For more information about the Fibre Channel SFP transceiver specifications, see the "SFP Transceiver Specifications" section on page B-9. Combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceivers The combination Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers from Cisco Systems are available in SWL or LWL versions. Both of these versions are 1-Gbps/2-Gbps capable. The combination SFP transceivers from Cisco Systems have LC connectors and comply with 1-Gbps/2-Gbps Fibre Channel as defined in FC-PI 10.0 2 and Gigabit Ethernet as defined in IEEE 802.3z. For more information on the Fibre Channel/Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver specifications, see the "SFP Transceiver Specifications" section on page B-9. 1-36 Cisco MDS 9200 Series Hardware Installation Guide OL-16188-01
