What's best to use for 10G Trunk Cabling

We are going to purchase a WS-C3850-12S-E fiber switch and trunk it to a WS-C3850-24T-E over 10G module add-ons.  The vendors are throwing out different options for cabling which is making me double guess myself.
Option 1: 1 SFP+ Active Optical Cable (cable with SFP+'s built in)
Option 2: 1 SFP+ Active Twinaxial Cable (cable with SFP+'s built in)
Option 3: 1 SFP+ Passive Twinaxial Cable (cable with SFP+'s built in)
Option 4: 2 10G SFP+ modules with separate optical cable
We do not run any other active fiber cabling so I think I can eliminate those options, Option 4 is the most expensive but is typically what I do when trunking with 1G fiber.

The statement in BLUE and the statement in GREEN contradict themselves.  
Whether or not you want 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps, fibre is the way to go.  What is missing is the distance between the two switches as long-haul fibre optic modules are double the price of a short-haul fibre optic modules.  
Another thing missing is the "thickness" of the cable.  A lot of fibre optic installers will try to give the cheapest option (if you don't know what you're asking for) so this means OM1 for short-haul or OS1 for long-haul.  
Personally, I would NOT touch a fibre link of OM1 or OS1 category.  For long-haul, it's got to be OS2 or none at all.  For short-haul fibre optics, it's OM4 for future-proofing (10- or 40 Gbps).

  • Which register cleaner or tune up software is the best to use for windows vista,windows 7 and windows 8.1 as professional?

    hi,
    I like to know wich register cleaner or tune up software is the best to use for windows vista- windows7- and windows 8.1.
    I like to know the proffesional  version of it which I can use for my clients  every where  unlimitted to clean unwanted keys  of registry and improve performance.(specialy in Dutch language).

    I second what Kate Li said.  There's no need for a registry cleaner!  Don't do it! I run Windows systems for years and they keep running as light and fast as when they're new.
    What I *do* recommend is regularly reviewing the list of programs set to run in the background using a tool to show you what starts in various ways called Autoruns, which can be found here:

    This tool can be used to disable things you don't need.

    Hi Archana,
    To Upload bulk data I think BDC is the best and effecient way.
    Regarding Infotypes we dont have any country specific Infotypes in OM & PA. In Payroll we do have according to country wise.

  • My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

    My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

    Hi,
    You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
    You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
    What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
    You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
    - the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
    - the value set values and  description
    Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do...

  • What are the materials used for the earbuds/earphones??

    What are the materials used for the earbuds/earphones?? Like whats the plastic used and what are the speaker materials and the volume button???

    Hello Veronica176
    The materials in Apple headphones include Neodymium magnets, oxygen-free electrolysis copper wire and a Nickel plated plug
    Apple uses Neodymium magnets in their headphones as it is much more magnetic compared to that of a ferrite magnet. This also further enhances the accoustics of sound and preventing any loss of sound. Because of this, you can get the same sound out of Apple headphones as the good ol' circum-aural headphones (image attached).
    Oxygen free copper wire is created through electrolysis which is furthermore considered an above average material for headphones, thus ensuring better sound quality. Oxygen free copper wire ensures a faster transfer time (as copper is one of the best conductors) and because of this, allows a faster transfer time, minimising loss. This means the sound quality of the music/sound playing may actually depend more on the quality of the MP3 file than the headphones.
    The nickel plated plug used by Apple is a standard connection and joins to a female connection into the iPod (for example) which is also nickel plated. Where gold plated plugs are renowned to transfer more data and superior sound quality when connected to any device. Connecting the same metals during transfer (nickel plated plugs and nickel female connections) ensures optimum sound as the signal will not be jumping different kinds of metal. The lack of gold plating also helps to reduce the cost in manufacturing and to the customer.

    Dear Experts
    Plz tell me.
    What the steps are useful for us while designing the database by Performance point of view.
    Like Proper indexing and table assing to specific tbalespace etc

    Oracle manuals would do the best for you. There is no step by step rules for tuning the database , had this be true , then Oracle must've write a programme , application or sql script to achive it . I would advise you to go through oracle performance and tuning guide .

  • When you set up tracks what is best to pick for the input and output?

    When you set up tracks what is best to pick for the input and output? also what is the buss output? Thanks

    First part of the question I don't understand, so could you elaborate please?
    Second part: bus output is used for submixes, for example, let's say you want the same EQ to be applied to all guitars in the song, so instead of using same EQ plug-in on all guitar tracks, you feed the output from these tracks to a bus track and use the effect just once on this bus submix.

    I'm in almost full agreement with everything you've said except for the ************** sites part. Most current Mac malware comes from very ordinary and even top level sites these days. Flashback came from hundreds of main stream WordPress blog sites. The New York Times primary web site was spreading malware for 24 hours before it was discovered. Users can no longer feel confident of not being infected just because they avoid sketchy sites.

  • What is the plugin used for jsp/servlet development , deployment in eclipse

    can some body tell me what are the other plugins to be used in enterprise java developement
    is eclipse would be a best choice j2ee application development?
    thanks

    what is the plugin used for jsp/servlet development ,

    can some body tell me what are the other plugins to

    1) Might depend on what you're doing. J2EE is not just JSP, you know?
    2) Why do you ask about Eclipse IDE at Sun's Java Programming forum?
    3) Do you really want me to list the 5000 plug-ins someone might use for J2EE-related development?
    4) Open fucking Google and search yourself
    is eclipse would be a best choice j2ee application
    development?IMO: no. Simply because you have to look for J2EE plugins. I'm too lazy for that. Though it has other benefits that might outweigh the plug-in-searching issue.

  • My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up.  It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for.

    My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up.  It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for. It has been working fine for years.  All of a sudden I keep getting a message that TC (time capsule) cannot complete back up as it is already in use.  I am doing the backups automatically through Time Capsule.

    Restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting and reconnecting the power adapter. When it's back online, open the AirPort Utility application and check to see whether there's a firmware update for it.

    Hi,
    Here is an idea for your request.
    Basically you can create a simple query on multiprovider 0TCT_MC01.
    Filter: you can use a variable for restriction of time ( calday, or calmonth) since you should be interested for a time period.
    Choose following characters into your objects:
    InfoProvider ( 0TCTIFPROV )  - you can create a variable for choosing infoprovider before query runs.
    *Tp.[Type of BI Application Object] 0TCTBISOTYP  = filter this with 'QUERY' or whatever your need is.
    *BI Application Object 0TCTBISBOBJ,  ( this will give you the name of the queries)
    In key figures choose,  Count for BI Appl. (0TCTWTCOUNT).
    (number for query run)
    Create a condition , for top 20.
    Hope this helps.

    Right-click on the CWAI control on your form. Choose Properties. The first tab is the Channels tab. After you choose your device from the drop down box on the right, you can type in the Channels box which channel you want to use.
    If you want to see a CWAI control that is already configured, all of the shipping examples will have this already done.
    Also, if you have questions about any item on the CWAI (or any other NI ActiveX control) you can click the ? icon in the right corner of the properties page and then click on the item in the dialog that you need help with. This "What's this" help will describe that particular control on the dialog.
    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for your help.

    I use SuperDuper for cloning my OSX volumes and it does not change the size of the destination partition to the size of the source partition.
    So, you can make the destination partitions size to your liking and the cloning will not change it afterwards.
    Keep in mind that SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner cannot clone a BootCamp Windows partition to a new harddisk, only OSX partitions.
    But Parallels doesn't need to have a Windows partitions but is mostly just two files plus the Parallels app on your OSX partition.
    And therefor it would be cloned with the rest of the OSX.

  • What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums?  Getting a cpu overload issue

    What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums (i.e. multi-output, stereo, etc)?  Getting a cpu overload issue.  I have a macbook pro, 4 gb ram, running Logic Pro 9.  Just 3 tracks of drums and a few real instrument tracks.  Can't find a guide in the manual for either Kontakt or Logic.  Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    AR drums are complete resource (CPU) hogs. They work better if you turn off as many of the AR internal plugins as you can.
    See section 4 (?) of the AR manual, which you can find within Kontakt (In the library area of Kontakt click hold the small "i" on the right of the "AR drummer" Library).
    Alternatively, your only solution is to increase the I/O buffer in Preferences:Audio, with the associated increase in latency
