Qx & QxL Ethernet SFP

Qx: Units with Mezzanine ID 0-9 support 10GBASE-SR (850nm) or 10GBASE-LR (1310nm) MSA SFP+ Ethernet Optical Transceiver Modules supplied by PHABRIX.

Units with Mezzanine ID 10 upwards may use either PHABRIX supplied or third-party:

  • 10GBASE-SR (850nm) or 10GBASE-LR (1310nm) MSA SFP+ single-rate Ethernet Optical Transceiver Modules.
    • PHABRIX Order Code: PHSFP-10GE-SR / PHSFP-10GE-LR

10GBASE-CR Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cables are not supported.

QxL: All QxL units support the use of either PHABRIX supplied or third-party:

  • 10GBASE-SR (850nm) or 10GBASE-LR (1310nm) MSA SFP+ single-rate Ethernet Optical Transceiver Modules, or
    • PHABRIX Order Code: PHSFP-10GE-SR / PHSFP-10GE-LR
  • 25GBASE-SR (850nm) or 25GBASE-LR (1310nm) MSA SFP28 single-rate Ethernet Optical Transceiver Modules, with Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (RS-FEC).
    • PHABRIX Order Code: PHSFP-25GE-SR / PHSFP-25GE-LR
  • Multi-rate operation is not supported.

10GBASE-CR, 25GBASE-CR and 25GBASE-CR-S Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cables are not supported.
