Long-Reach Multimode Adapter Module

RUCKUS ICX 7150, ICX 7250, and ICX 7750 Ethernet switches require a Long-Reach Multimode (LRM) adapter module to support LRM optics connections.

The RUCKUS LRM adapter module has two 280-mm Twinax tails and two corresponding SFP+ sockets which operate independently. Power for each of the SFP+ sockets and for the adapter is provided through the Twinax connections.

The LRM adapter module requires FastIron 08.0.61 or later on the host RUCKUS ICX switches. The LRM adapter module is not field-configurable. Rather, you can apply all configuration to the host switch port. Use the show lrm-adapter ethernet command to display the status of the LRM adapter module.
