Introduction

SFP modules, small form-factor pluggable modules, also known as mini-GBICs, are hot-swappable Gigabit
Ethernet optical transceivers.

SFP Modules

z SFP-TX: conforms to 1000Base-T copper wiring Gigabit Ethernet standard
z SFP-SX: conforms to 1000Base-SX fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard
z SFP-LX: conforms to 1000Base-LX fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard

Note: Approved optics are tested and supported within their controller/switch systems. Non-approved, third party optics are
not tested or supported; therefore, Proper functionality of non-approved, third party optics are not guaranteed. For a complete
list of approved optics, contact your sales representative. Specifications are listed on page 1 of this guide.

SFP Installation

To install an SFP module:

1. Use standard ESD precautions when installing an SFP module.

2. Slide the SFP module into a 1000Base-X port of the controller/switch until a connection is made and an
audible click is heard.

3. Lock the SFP in place by moving the latch on the module to an upright position, facing the top of the module.
