MD3620f and twinax
Hello -
My understanding of SFP+ was the standard supported optics modules and 10GBe twinax across the board, but I was recently told otherwise by a hardware vendor. All of the SFP+ switches we've dealt with all support Twinax and I'm pretty sure the PowerConnect 8164F supports it as well.
Has anyone tried to connect an MD3620f with Twinax? I'm mainly interested because we've standardized on 10GBe twinax in our datacenter, and I'd rather not break from that convention just for these enclosures. All our storage and servers are wired top-of-rack, so we really have no need for the long-distance support that fiber offers.
Thanks,
- Jeff

When it comes to the MD3620f and connecting it with SFP+ connectors there are only a couple kinds that we can guarantee will work. Below is a link to the support matrix for the MD3620f and if you go to the middle of page 11 you will see where it talks about the SFP+ connectors for this array.
