compatibility between gbics

oded-levi

Hello,
I have a server with gbic of INTEL (AFBR-703SDZ-IN2).
I need to connect this server to 6500 with gbic of Cisco (X2-10GB-SR)

I didn't find information about the compatibility of these gbic...

When I connect the server to 6500, I haven't link between the 6500 and this server when I connect them..
There is information about the compatibility of the two gbics?

Thanks..

They are both 10GBase-SR compliant transceivers so you should not run into compatibility issues as long as you have a good multimode fiber link connecting them (OM3 recommended).

Of course the server end is LC and the X2 uses an SC duplex connector but that doesn't affect the signaling interoperability.

That model of X2 SFP on the switch supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) so you shold be able to confirm received light levels using the command "show interface te transceiver detail"
