Management network cabling considerations for HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Modules

LINK port cabling for HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Modules

  • Connect frame link module LINK ports to other frame link module LINK ports only. Do not connect LINK ports to a data center switch.

  • The 4-Port FLM LINK port supports 10GBase-T SFP+ transceiver with CAT6A cables, SFP+ 10Gb DAC cables, and SFP+ 10Gb transceivers with optical cables. For a complete list of cabling options, see the product QuickSpecs www.hpe.com/info/qs.

  • HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Module (4-Port FLM) LINK ports support SFP+ optical transceivers for cabling long-distance management rings.

MGMT port cabling for HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Modules

  • The management network top-of-rack switch must be the same speed as the cables or transceivers used for MGMT port cabling.

  • The 4-Port FLM MGMT port supports 1000BASE-T SFP Transceiver with CAT5 cables, 10GBase-T SFP+ transceiver with CAT6A cables, SFP DAC cables, SFP+ 10Gb DAC cables, and SFP+ 10Gb transceivers with optical cables. For a complete list of cabling options see the product QuickSpecs www.hpe.com/info/qs.

  • The 4-Port FLM MGMT ports supports 1GbE and 10GbE cables and transceivers. The MGMT port speed is set based on the cables or transceivers used.

NOTE: When using a transceiver with a cable to connect HPE Synergy components, you are not required to use the same transceiver on each end of the same cable.
