The difference between SFP+ and X2

[mohammad saeed]

Dear Expert,

I need to know what is the difference between SFP+ and X2! and can I use SFP+ card and module instead of X2?

Thanks,

Mohammad Saeed

Hi,

They are both used for 10Gig interfaces.  The difference is the connector type.

SFP+ is LC and X2 is SC.

You can not put an SFP+ into an X2 slot or X2 optic into a SFP+.
