Physical Specifications
SFP+ Optics
Cisco Nexus 5500 platform supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ copper Twinax cables for short distances and SFP+ optics (10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, 10GBASE-ER, GLC-ZX-SM and Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender Transceiver [FET-10G]) for longer distances. SFP+ has several advantages compared to other 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options:
●  Small 10 Gigabit Ethernet form factor
●  Optical interoperability with XENPAK, X2, and XFP interface types
●  Low power consumption
●  Hot-swappable device
●  Cisco Nexus 5500 platform products support 8-Gbps Fibre Channel-compatible SFP+ for native Fibre Channel connectivity options; 8-Gbps Fibre Channel-compatible short-reach and 10-km long-reach SFP transceiver modules operate at 8/4/2 Gbps and are supported in the 8‑Gbps-capable native Fibre Channel ports on expansion modules and unified ports
SFP Optics
The Cisco Nexus 5500 platform supports Gigabit Ethernet SFP for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options, available in both standard and extended temperature ranges with Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) support. The following SFP transceiver modules are supported by hardware in all ports of the Cisco Nexus 5500 platform:
●   Cisco 1000BASE-T SFP
●   Cisco 1000BASE-SX SFP
●   Cisco 1000BASE-LX/LR SFP
●   Cisco 8/4/2/1-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP
