1. 2 x Cisco Cisco MDS 9134 Multilayer Fabric Switch2. 2 x Cisco Catalyst 4900M Switch3. 12 x Cisco OneX Converter (The Cisco OneX converts

an X2 interface into one SFP+ interface and uses the full range of Cisco SFP+ transceivers)

4. 4 x Cisco SFP-10G-LRM Fiber SFP+ Modules (SFP+ Uplinks to other switch closets)

5. 8 x Cisco 10-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+ – 10Gb/s Fibre Channel (DS-SFP-FC10G-SW)– 10Gb/s Fiber

6. 12 x 4Gb/s Fiber Channel HBA PCI Card Adapter NIC – 4Gb/s Fiber

7. 2 x 20-Port Wire-Speed 10/100/1000 (RJ-45) Half Card (40 ports per switch total of 80 ports)

8. Misc Fiber + Ethernet Connectors

10Gb/s SFP+ Fibre Channel Modules

The Cisco 10GBASE-LRM Module supports link lengths of 220m on standard Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) grade multimode fiber (MMF). To ensure that specifications are met over FDDI-grade, OM1 and OM2 fibers, the transmitter should be coupled through a mode conditioning patch cord. No mode conditioning patch cord is required for applications over OM3 or OM4. For additional information on mode conditioning patch cord requirements please see: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps5455/product_bulletin_c25-530836.html.

The Cisco 10GBASE-LRM Module also supports link lengths of 300m on standard single-mode fiber (SMF, G.652).
