LRM Adapter Support

Some ICX switches do not support Long Reach Module (LRM) optics on 10-GbE fiber ports. The LRM adapter can connect to any 10G fiber ports of the ICX switch. The LRM adapter has two 10-GbE fiber ports and both ports can be used at the same time.

The LRM adapter is supported on all 10-GbE fiber ports for all models of the ICX 7150 switches. The following figure shows the front view of the LRM adapter and the SPF+ optic module with copper pigtail.

Note: The LRM adapter is used to support LRM optics on the ICX 7750, ICX 7250, and ICX 7150 switches. The ICX 7450 supports LRM optics natively.
