Introduction

Use a transceiver module for connection to a remote device. SFP
and SFP+ transceiver modules are hot swappable. You can install
and remove a module while your device is operating.

SFP/SFP+ modules both use 3.3V power input and LC-type
connectors.
SFP/SFP+ modules support data rate of 100M/1G/10G bps and
single-mode/multi-mode connection based on its specification.

Handling Warning

All 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 a module.

All 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.

Safety Warning

All modules are equipped with a Class 1 laser, which emits invisible
radiation. Read the following safety warnings carefully.

•To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating
fiber-optic module’s connectors.

•Laser radiation is present when the device or system is powered
up.

•Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or
replace these modules.

Environmental Warnings

•Dispose of your fiber-optic module according to all national laws
and regulations.
