Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

TP-LINK’s JetStream Series SFP+ Transceiver contains two
types of transceivers: TXM431-SR and TXM431-LR. Both
transceivers support 10G Ethernet, making them very suitable
for business needs. TXM431-SR uses 850nm wavelength, it
supports maximum transfer distance of 300 meters, while
TXM431-LR uses 1310nm wavelength, with its maximum
transmission distance reaching as far as 10 km, providing
customers with a very flexible choice when deploying their 10G
Ethernet connection. Moreover, TXM431 Series transceivers are
hot-swappable, meaning that they can be added or removed
without interrupting the network.

Chapter 2 Installation

2.1 Installing the SFP+ Transceiver



Note:

 Installing or removing the SFP+ transceiver with fiber-optic cables still

attached to it may damage cables and cable connectors. Please
disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP+ transceiver.

 Remove and insert SFP+ transceiver if necessary. Removing and installing

an SFP+ transceiver frequently can shorten its service life.

 As the SFP+ transceivers are static-sensitive devices, be sure to wear an

ESD wrist strap when installing or removing a transceiver. Do not touch the
output pins on the transceiver with your hand.

Step 1: Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure the
wrist strap has good skin contact and is well grounded.

Step 2: Insert the

SFP+ transceiver into an SFP+ slot, as shown

in Figure 1.

Figure 1

Step 3: Press the transceiver into the slot firmly until you feel the
transceiver latch into place.

Step 4: Remove the dust plug from the transceiver.



Note:

Always keep the protective dust plug on the SFP+ transceiver’s optical bores
until you are ready to make a connection.

Step 5: Plug fiber into the transceiver and the SFP+ transceiver
can now begin operation automatically.

2.2 Removing the SFP+ Transceiver

Step 1: Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure the
wrist strap has good skin contact and is well grounded.

Step 2: Disconnect the network’s fiber-optic cable from the
transceiver.

Step 3: Release the transceiver latch by pulling down the handle
bar across the transceiver, then pull the transceiver out of the
SFP+ slot, as shown in Figure 3. Then immediately reinstall the
dust plug in the transceiver’s optical bores.

2.3 Safety of Laser Use

JetStream TXM431 Series SFP+ Transceiver is a Class-1 laser
device.

Do not look straight at the optical port of the transceiver when it
is operating. The optical fiber beam is of high energy and thus
will do great harm to the retina.



Note:

Looking straight at the optical fiber beam could do great harm to your eyes.
