Your device unit may come with an SFP transceiver pre-installed when it was delivered.
Installing SFP Fiber Transceiver
To install an SFP fiber transceiver into an SFP slot, the steps are:
1.
Turn off the power to the device unit.
2.
Insert the SFP fiber transceiver into the SFP slot. Normally, a bail is provided for every SFP transceiver.
Hold the bail and make insertion.
3.
Until the SFP transceiver is seated securely in the slot, place the bail in lock position.
Connecting Fiber Cables
LC connectors are commonly equipped on most SFP transceiver modules. Identify TX and RX connector
before making cable connection. The following figure illustrates a connection example between two fiber
ports:
Make sure the RX-to-TX connection rule is followed on the both ends of the fiber cable.
