Why each option
The Cisco Fabric Extender Transceiver (FET) is a purpose-built transceiver used exclusively for the uplink connection between a Cisco Nexus 2000 Series FEX and its Cisco Nexus 5500 parent switch.
The FET is not designed for direct server-to-switch connections; standard SFP or SFP+ transceivers are used for server host-facing ports on the Nexus 5548.
Servers do not connect to the Nexus 5010 using a FET; FET is specific to FEX-to-parent-switch uplinks, not server access links.
The FET module is engineered specifically to connect the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender to the Cisco Nexus 5500 Series parent switch over the fabric uplink interface. This transceiver enables the FEX to operate as a remote line card of the parent switch, and it is not interchangeable with standard SFP/SFP+ transceivers used for other device types.
Servers connect to the Nexus 2000 FEX via standard host-facing ports using regular transceivers, not the FET, which is reserved for the FEX fabric uplink only.
