What is FET-10G FET is an optical transceiver that provides a highly cost-effective solution for connecting FEX to its parent switch (i.e. Nexus 2K to Nexus 5K). Note that FET can only be used to connect Fabric links between the Fabric Extender and the parent switch. FET-10G must be connected to another FET-10G Supported on N2248TP / N2232PP / 2224TP uplinks MMF: 25M (OM2), 100M (OM3)This presentation contains materials that are either copyright 2011 IBM Corporation or copyright 2011 Cisco Systems, Inc.
