Note: For Cisco 5000 Series Data Center Class switches, Quantum recommends using the approved 5 meter Twinax cable type that is shipped with the DXi6900 system. Otherwise, Quantum recommends using optical (SFP+) connectivity.

Note: The 10 GbE Copper (Twinax) cable options that Quantum provides do not support all switches. Please note the supported switches during the purchase-configuration process, and if the Twinax cables supplied by Quantum are not compatible with your switch, then you will need to provide your own compatible Twinax cables from your switch vendor. Be sure to have these available before the system installation takes place.
