The XGM2-2bt option card allows you to add two fixed 10GBASE-T ports to the following switches:
In Summit X450a and X450e series switches, the ports on the XGM2-2bt option card can be configured as alternate stacking ports in a SummitStack configuration that uses the SummitStack-V feature. For more information about stacking ExtremeSwitching switches, see Building Stacks.
The 10GBASE-T standard (IEEE 802.3an) allows the use of standard CAT5E, CAT6, or CAT6A cable for connection to the XGM2-2bt ports (see the following table).
Cable Type | Maximum Distance |
---|---|
CAT5E | 55 meters |
CAT6 | 75 meters |
