ATEX SFP Transceiver
Installation and
Operation Guide

Overview

The actual SFP transceivers from MICROSENS offer an optical transmission over multimode or
single mode fiber. Depending on the model the transceiver can cover distances up to 120 km.

The optical transceivers from MICROSENS comply with the SFP specifications Revision 5.4.
Additional they are compliant to the Gigabit Ethernet specifications according IEEE Std. 802.3®,
the Fibre Channel specifications FC-PH, PH2, PH3, FC-PI 10.0 and all common ATM (OC-12, OC-48)
and Sonet (SDH STM-4, SDH STM-16) standards.

The transceivers are available with different wavelengths. For multimode applications such as
Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel or Double Rate Fibre Channel VCSEL lasers with a wavelength of
850 nm are used. This allows to realise distances up to 550 m using a 50/125µm multimode fiber.

For single mode applications there are FP and DFB lasers with the wavelengths of 1310 nm and
1550 nm available. Depending on the model it is possible to cover distances from 10 km up
to 120 km.

The transceivers offer the highest flexibility and can be installed during operation (hot swap).

Warning

The ATEX-SFP Transceiver is not certified for usage in potentially explosive atmospheres.

These fiber links can lead to ATEX “Zone 0” directly.

Caution Eye Safety

Attention:

Visible and invisible light emitted from fiber optical component may cause permanent

damage to your eyes!

To avoid damage to the eyes

• never look straight into the output of fiber optic components – danger of blinding!

• cover all unused optical connections with caps.

• commission the transmission link only after completing all connections.

The active laser components used with this product comply with the provisions of Laser Class 1.

Assembling

To install an SFP transceiver, perform the following procedure:

Caution:

The transceiver can be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to observe all standard electrostatic
discharge (ESD) precautions, such as wearing an antistatic wrist strap, to avoid damaging the
device.

Instructions for installation:

1. Remove the sealing plugs of the SFP slot.

2. Remove the transceiver from the shipping package and store the packaging material at
safe place.

3. Open the clip on the SFP.

4. With the clip closed, insert the SFP in the hardware until you hear it engage. The SFP is
then firmly secured.

5. If you are connecting the fiber optic cable to the SFP at this time, continue to step 6.
Otherwise, stop here.

6. Remove the sealing plugs.

7. Insert the connection cable into the SFP until you hear it engage. The connecting cable is
then firmly secured.

For information about the transceiver port LEDs, refer to the appropriate hardware installation
guide.

Uninstalling:

1. Remove the connected cable of the SFP.

2. Open the clip of the SFP and remove the SFP from the hardware.

3. close the SFP port with a sealing plug.

4. close the SFP with a sealing plug.
