The N5K-M1600 GEM supplies six 10-Gbps SFP+ uplink ports for the Cisco Nexus 5000 platform. All six ports are Ethernet and take SFP+ transceivers, and odd-numbered ports sit above even-numbered ports on the front panel.
The front panel holds a captive screw for installation and a status LED. Fitted to a Nexus 5010 switch, the module adds its six ports to the 20 base ports, and the chassis supports hot swapping of expansion modules.
A Nexus 5010 has one rear slot for an uplink GEM that accepts four modules: the N5K-M1404, the N5K-M1600, the N5K-M1008 and the N5K-M1060. The N5K-M1008 is the N5K-M1008 Fibre Channel module with eight Fibre Channel ports. Further Nexus 5000 parts are grouped under Cisco switches.
