Using SFP+ Transceiver Modules
An SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system with 16 Gb Fibre Channel storage controllers uses short range small-form-factor pluggable (SFP+) transceiver modules.
The SFP+ transceiver modules are installed into the front-end ports of a storage controller . Fiber-optic cables are connected from the SFP+ transceiver modules in a storage controller to SFP+ transceiver modules in Fibre Channel switches.
