Re: Catalyst 9500 series switch SFP-10G-T-X usage limit

> Catalyst 9500 series switches have a limited number of SFP-10G-T-X available.
> C9500-24Y4C
> C9500-48Y4C
> In the above Catalyst 9500 series switches, each physical switch can have up to eight SFP-10G-T-X.

> This limitation also applies if you are using StackWise Virtual.
> Even with StackWise Virtual, there are up to eight per physical switch and a total of 16 per StackWise Virtual.

> This limit is H/W limitation, so it does not depend on the operating IOS-XE version.

While the above description describes the limit on the number of SFP-10G-T-X available in a separate thread, does the same limitation apply when using SFP-1G-T-X (GLC-TE)?

If there is a need for >8 x 10 Gbps copper ports, then the 9500 is not the right answer.  

9500 is a core/distro switch and not an ideal solution to connect 10 Gbps server.

There was a time in the past when C9500-48Y4C used more than 8 1000Base-T SFP.
Therefore, I think that it is fine if it is 1G copper.
Just in case, I remember that IOS ver. at that time was 16.12.
