Which transceiver or cable do I need?
Match the port and the speed
Start with the cage on the switch, server or storage port: SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, QSFP28, XFP or X2. Then match the speed and the standard on both ends of the link. A 10GBASE-SR module must link to another 10GBASE-SR port, not to a 10GBASE-LR one.
Multimode or single-mode fiber
Short-reach modules such as SX and SR use 850nm light on multimode fiber. Long-reach modules such as LR, EX and ZX use single-mode fiber. Use the fiber type your cable plant already has.
Single-strand (BiDi) modules come in pairs
A single-strand module sends on one wavelength and receives on another over one fiber, so the module at the far end must be its opposite. For example, a 1550Tx/1310Rx module links to a 1310Tx/1550Rx module. Several single-strand models on this page come in both directions; check the Tx and Rx wavelengths in each listing title.
Direct attach cables for short runs
Direct attach copper (DAC) cables have the module ends fixed to the cable and suit links within a rack or to the next rack. Breakout cables split one 40G QSFP+ port into four 10G SFP+ ports, or one 100G QSFP28 port into four 25G SFP28 ports; the host port must support breakout mode.
Ethernet or Fibre Channel
Fibre Channel modules are for SAN switches and host bus adapters, not Ethernet ports. Each Fibre Channel listing title gives the speed, such as 4G, 8G or 16G; match it to the SAN port.
Platform compatibility
Titles that say "for Cisco", "Cisco Compatible", "for Cisco Meraki", "for Arista" or "HP Compatible" name the platform the module is sold for. Where a title names no platform, check the listing before you order.
Does the 1000BASE-T copper SFP run at 10 or 100 Mb/s?
Not the Avago ABCU-5710RZ. Its datasheet states it runs only at 1000 Mb/s, so the port at the other end must run at gigabit speed.
