PoE ports.
SFP Combo Port
The AT-GS900/8POE Gigabit Ethernet switch has one SFP port that can
accommodate an optional Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver.
The AT-GS900/8POE Gigabit Ethernet switch has one SFP combo port
(Port 8) that can accommodate one optional Small Form-factor Pluggable
(SFP) transceiver module. The copper redundant port (Port 8R) becomes
the redundant/standby port when the link on Port 8 is lost.
An SFP module is a fast and easy way for you to add a 1000 Mbps fiber
optic port to your Gigabit PoE switch. You can use the module to extend
the distance of your network, build a high-speed backbone network
between switches, or connection additional end-nodes to the network,
such as high-speed servers.
The SFP transceiver is a fast and easy way for you to add an 1000 Mbps
fiber optic uplink port to your Fast Ethernet switch. You can use the SFP to
extend the distance of your network, build a high-speed backbone network
between switches, or connect additional end nodes to the network, such
as high-speed servers.
Figure 2 shows an example of an SFP transceiver.

Note
The SFP transceiver only supports Gigabit operation and works
independently without taking any port priority.
