SFPs for 10G Dist. Sw

If the WAN router has a 10G capable port and you want to route traffic from the switch to the router over 10G, then you would need the transceiver to make it work.

If not, then you can use a 1G connection for it.  

Also, if you're going to run a 10G network, it will have to go like this:

10G Firewall port > 10G Router port > 10G Switch port > 10G server NICs.

can you please let us know what 10G (or 1G) Transceiver to use? This is in Data center settings
so distances are not so much. Can Copper RJ45 be used, if colocated??

The customer has the following for the connection :

10G Router port > 10G Switch port > 10G Firewall port > 10G server NICs.

Dear,

Your Dell Switch has all ports are SFP+. In your case to connect your Dell switch to the WAN port on  ISR  you have to check the transceiver type ( on the router( short range SX or long Range LX ) if 10G SFP+ port Available,  to use it on your switch. Moreover, you have to check the compatibility between the Two transceivers ( Dell & Cisco ).

If it's less than 15 ft you can use twinax (copper sfp+). It's a cable with both transceivers builtin. Less expensive than a single fiber transceiver.

Aaron;
Budget certainly is an issue here, can you please provide the part number / more description so that we can order it? SFP+ are very expensive.

Aaron;
Our router (ISR 4331) has RJ45 copper port, could Twinmax be used w/ that?

Aaron;
Is there 1G version of copper Twinmax available somewhere?

1m twinax that can do 10g are like $60

Is there a 1G Twinmax (3M)?

Dell doesn't have any, you can try offbrand.

Thanks Aaron
