Multi-Mode Fibre Optic
Emulex adapters support 10GBASE-SR "Short Range" short wave lasers, Multi Mode Fibre Optic Cables (MMF) with LC type connector, at lengths up to 100 meters. "LC" refers to the actual connector on the end of the cable, and it stands for "Lucent Connector". There are several kinds of MMF cables that can be purchased, the differences between MMF cables is in the size of the core of the cable, which then determines how far apart the CNA can be from a target – also called the link length. Link length is also contingent on the bandwidth designation of the cable, OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4.

| OM1 | Multi-Mode | 62.5 µm | 850nm/1300nm | 200MHz | Orange |
| OM2 | Multi-Mode | 50 µm | 850nm/1300nm | 500MHz | Orange |
| OM3 | Multi-Mode | 50 µm | 850nm/1300nm | 2000MHz | Aqua |
| OM4 | Multi-Mode | 50 µm | 850nm/1300nm | 4700MHz | Aqua |
SFP+
SFP+ stands for Small Form Pluggable Plus – the second generation of the SFP interconnect system, supporting data rates up to 10Gb/s. SFP+ modules can be plugged into an SFP+ cage that is installed on the board, which allows you to swap out an optical module in the event of a failure. Optical versions of OneConnect adapters (10GBASE-SR) ship with two SFP Optical Transceivers installed in the SFP+ cages on the board. Copper versions of OneConnect adapters (10GBASE-CR) can be connected with a Direct Attached Copper (DAC or TwinAx) cable.
