SummitStack-V & 1000BaseT SFPs?

[Andrew_Butterwo]

The datasheet for the Summit X440-G2 series states

"SummitStack-V allows use of standard 10Gb Ethernet cabling and optics technologies"

Does this include the pre-terminated 10GBase-CR twin-ax cables (10304, 10305, 10306 & 10307)? I am trying to cost up a small solution and need to stack four X440-G2-12p-10GE4 switches.

Please check the datasheet and hardware installation guide.

The 10307 is Supported on 48 port 10GbE ports only = will not work in your 12port version.

I have to reply to this question to avoid people making the same mistake as me due to misleading and limited information from ExtremeNetworks.

X440-G2 10G ports on the front are PHYLESS. So DAC cable for Summit-V only supports up to 3m. (10304 and 10305).

Good Luck.

I would be very careful assuming that something is valid for X440-G2 based on knowledgebase for X460-G2... The X460-G2 does have quite clearly stated in http://learn.extremenetworks.com/rs/extreme/images/Summit-X460-G2-DS.pdf what transceiver is supported in what port. If needed we I can ask the product management for compatibility test. 10m is not supported. 1 and 3 meters is supported...

Hi,

From below for X460-G2. But it is all similar to other G2 platform on its front panel 10G ports. That is the thing i hate about the documentation, it is not clear at all platforms.
