Cable Devices to the Switch
Connect cables to the SFP transceivers and their corresponding devices, and
then energize the devices. Device host bus adapters can have SFP (or SFF)
transceivers. LC-type duplex fiber optic cable connectors are designed for SFP
transceivers. Duplex cable connectors are keyed to ensure proper orientation.
Choose the fiber optic cable with the connector combination that matches the
device host bus adapter.
Connect a QLogic 9000 Series switch to a QLogic 5000 series switch through
their 10-Gbps ports using an X2-to-XPAK stacking cable. The stacking cable X2
connector is larger than the XPAK connector and attaches to the QLogic 9000
Series 10-Gbps I/O blade.
