For all Cisco SKUs (Stock Keeping Units), the "=" at the end denotes a spare part or item ordered separately.

Without an "=" generally means the exact same item is ordered as part of a parent configuration - for instance, an SFP as an optional part of a switch module.

They are exactly the same physical part.
