NetScaler MPX™

Transceivers for MPX 9200 and 17000 platforms

This section describes the transceivers, direct-attach copper (DAC) cables, and active optical cables (AOCs) that are supported on the NetScaler MPX 9200 and MPX 17000 platforms. It also provides answers to frequently asked questions and real-world interoperability use cases to help you plan and validate your deployments.

The MPX 9200 provides 8 SFP56 ports (10G/25G/50G) and has no QSFP-class ports. The MPX 17000 provides the same 8 SFP56 ports along with 4 QSFP56 ports (40G/100G/200G). As a result, all 40G, 100G, and 200G modules are supported only on the MPX 17000.
