FIBER OPTIC LINK
Each pair of extenders require optional SFP+ fiber optic modules of your choice (single or multi-mode). The fiber
optic cable used must match the SFP+ type and also be of a suitable type for the distance being covered. See
for details.
TO MAKE THE FIBER OPTIC LINK
IMPORTANT: Ensure the power supply is off/disconnected before inserting or removing an SFP+ module.
1 Remove an SFP+ module from its protective packing and insert it fully into the empty slot on the extender. The
transmitter slot is located on the front panel; the receiver slot is situated on the rear panel:
2 Repeat for the other SFP+ module on the other extender.
3 For each SFP+ module, remove the black rubber insert that protects the sensors.
4 If fitted, remove the dual inserts that protect the fiber optic connectors.
5 Insert the fiber optic connectors into the SFP+ module so that they click into place:
