FIGURE 4

Cable design for the mSFP patch cables for the FC8-64 high density port blade

Note that the duplex clip on the mSFP end of the cable is black for easier recognition. See the 
appendix for a listing of the qualified mSFP optical cables for the FC8-64 port blade.

If ISL Trunking is in use, group the cables by trunking group. The ports are color-coded to indicate 
which ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group: eight ports marked with solid black ovals 
alternate with eight ports marked with oval outlines. 

Refer to 

 for a listing of supported cable speeds and 

distances.
