4.2 Fiber Optic Connections
Optional 10G SFP+ or 100G QSFP28 transceivers can be used for fiber connections from
the switch to other network devices in the data center. An SFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver may
also be used for long distance connections to devices at another site.
WARNING:
•
This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The lasers
are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are
inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look
directly at a transmit port when it is powered on.
•
When selecting a fiber SFP+ or QSFP28 device, considering safety, please
make sure that it can function at a temperature that is not less than the
recommended maximum operational temperature of the product. You must
also use an approved Laser Class 1 SFP+ or QSFP28 transceiver.
The following figure illustrates the SFP+ or QSFP28 port fiber connection.
