This means that you can install and remove a module while your device is operating. The SFP+ modules provide duplex single-mode or multimode connections.

The SFP+ module uses LC-type connectors.

Handling, Safety and

Environmental Guidelines

Handling Warning

SFP+ modules are static sensitive. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), it is recommended you attach an ESD preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface when you install or remove an SFP+ module.

SFP+ modules are dust sensitive. When not in use, always keep the dust plug on. Avoid getting dust and other contaminant into the optical bores, as the optics do not work correctly when obstructed with dust.
