Is this for an in rack connection? Perhaps use Twinax/DACs and save some $.

I'd say those two SFP's are the same, one would be a minor hardware revision on the previous one.

The part numbers are effectively the same, one minor increment up, the description is the same and a 10g SR optic is going to be the same on both.

That's a guess, but an educated one.

Thanks,

I was thinking that but the photos look the same. ..

In my exposure to sfps is to the duplex .. ie dual core variety. My last adventure into single core want very fruitful.

Are dual more prevalent or simplex ?

Duplex LX means two fibre - TX and RX.
(As opposed to simplex as used by BX optics).
