SFP+ Modules and Optic Requirements When selecting optic transceivers or cables for SFP+ modules described in this document, it is important to understand that while some SFP+ ports will accept both 1G and 10G, not all do. As seen in the table below, most fixed port SFP+ ports on Dell PowerConnect and Force10 switches allow both 10G and 1G SFP+ optics; however, the expansion module ports often allow only 10G optics.
