VxRail SFP+ partnumber
Hello Experts,
We have a lot of questions on SFP+ Part number to be ordered from Myquotes for VxRail. My quotes gives INSTLKIT-10GE-SFP+ . However the BOM for this doesn't specify whether it includes the SFP+.Can somebody please help us clear this doubt?
Thanks,
Virender Singh

Doesn't look like this is available to customers which I would argue should be, but good to see it is now documented.

If ordering VxRail with SFP+ the cables are not included. If connecting to a Cisco Nexus switch the following cables are suitable. “The TwinAx cables in MyQuotes should be available via the following EMC Model Number: 10G-SFPP-TWX0308 Description: DIRECT ATTACHED SFPP COPPER, 3M, 8-PACK It's an 8 pack of TwinAx cables so we'll only need 1 per appliance”. 10G-SFPP-TWX0308 SEL DIRECT ATTACH SFPP COPPER3M8-PACK 2 EA The units will ship with the correct number of cables required for RJ45 connectivity and a separate order is not required.

@engmalialiwhere did you find "10G-SFPP-TWX0308" referenced as an acceptable option for Cisco switches? The part number described is listed for Brocade switches? I cannot find any reference to Cisco Twinax support on the VxRail.

The Twinax cables I was directed to are: BRSFP-TX3M8P , an 8 pack of 3M compatible with VxRail SFP+ and Brocade switch. Although, these are Brocade cables, and I cannot find a compatibility matrix for Twinax cable models to Cisco switches. The switch side will be Cisco Meraki MS-425. Has anyone discovered a Twinax interop matrix between switch vendors ?

Twinax cables come with connectors and they are switch dependent. ToR vendors provide their own for this reason. Cisco-Meraki is an acquisition is not the "real" Cisco switch. So a Twinax that works for Nexus may not work for Meraki.

Now we can select VxRail SFP+ option in MyQuotes.
The parts number is "VXRAIL-OPTIC-SR".
Thanks for order systems update.

Hi,
What about using LR-optics? Customer is having a LR-environment, and they are asking if they can use the same LR-optics with VxRail installation as well. I know that our NIC's supports LR-optics.
Thanks!
