SFMFF4040-100

Optical Line Converter for
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)
Transceiver Modules

The Transition Networks SFMFF4040-100 optical line
converter is designed to accommodate two (2) small
form factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver modules.

The following SFP transceiver modules are compatible with the SFMFF4040-100 converter
and are available from Transition Networks (sold separately).

*Typical maximum cable distance. Actual distance is dependent upon the physical
characteristics of the network.

NOTE: Third-party Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) compliant Small Form Factor
Pluggables (SFPs) can be used in the SFMFF4040-100.

With any two of Transition Networks SFP transceiver modules installed, the
SFMFF4040-100 converter can perform the following mode and wavelength line
conversions.

Mode conversions:

• multimode to multimode

• multimode to single mode

• single mode to single mode

Wavelength line conversions:

• 850 nm to 850 nm • 850 nm to 1310 nm • 850 nm to 1550 nm

• 1310 nm to 850 nm • 1310 nm to 1310 nm • 1310 nm to 1550 nm

• 1550 nm to 850 nm • 1550 nm to 1310 nm • 1550 nm to 1550 nm

• CWDM (coarse wavelength division multiplexing)

• DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing)

Installation

Install SFP Transceiver Modules

To install SFP transceiver modules into the SFMFF4040-100 converter:

1. Position the SFP transceiver module at either installation slot, with the
label facing up.

2. Carefully slide the module into the slot, aligning it with the internal
installation guides.

3. Ensure that the module is firmly seated against the internal mating
connector.

4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 to install a second module in the remaining slot.

Remove SFP Transceiver Modules

To remove a SFP transceiver module from the SFMFF4040-100 converter:

1. Swing the handle on the SFP transceiver to the “out” position.

2. Carefully pull the module outward until it separates from the converter.

2.

1.

Power the SFMFF4040-100

AC:

1. Connect the barrel connector, on the power adapter, to the power port
on the converter (on the back of the converter).

2. Connect the power adapter plug to AC power.

3. Verify that the converter is powered by observing the illuminated LED
power indicator light.

DC:

Consult the user’s guide for the Transition Networks SPS1872-xx DC external
power supply for powering the converter.
