Note: OM = Optical Monitoring supported. SMF = single-mode fiber. MMF = multi-mode fiber. MMF

distance supported depends on cabling type. Use OM3 50 ìm (2000 MHz*km) MMF to support the farthest
distances.

The B24X has twenty-four dual-speed 10/1 GbE SFP+ ports enabling customers to seamlessly transition

their 1 GbE devices to 10 GbE speeds by upgrading the transceiver. Qualified SFP+ or SFP transceivers
are required for each SFP+ port and are not included. Up to twenty-four 10 GbE SFP+ or 1 GbE SFP
transceivers are supported on each IBM Ethernet Switch B24X.

10 GbE SFP+ optical –SR (10GBASE-SR) transceivers support distances up to 300 m, which is ideal for

connectivity within a data center. 10 GbE SFP+ optical –LR (10GBASE-LR) transceivers support extended
distances up to 10 km.
