Thanks Mark, does it require other type to cable/connector OR normal RJ45 connector with CAT6 would cable work for it.

[Mark Malone]

Hi

if its copper sfp any cat5 cat6 will work fine

whats the copper sfp your using ?

[Anukalp S]

Hi.. I am not using any copper SFP yet, I am planning to use it to connect servers, Could you pls suggest which 10G copper sfp module models are available and can be used.

Pls suggest copper sfp models of 10G.

Hi

That's why I was asking I don't see any supported copper 10GBs in the supported list of transceivers above for the 9396 doesn't look like its supports copper transceivers on the fibre switch  , usually would see some twinax copper or 10gb base but there all SFP , maybe because there is a fibre 9396 and also a copper 10gb 9396 version switch Nexus 9300 10GBaseT Switches
