5.4.1 Gigabit SFP Optical Module
Figure 17 Gigabit SFP Optical Module
An SFP optical module is equipped with LC connector, and each port consists of a TX
(transmit) port and an RX (receive) port. To enable communication between Device A and
Device B, connect the TX port of Device A to the RX port of Device B, and the RX port of
Device A to the TX port of Device B, as shown in the following figure.

How to Connect the SFP Optical Module
Insert the SFP optical module into the SFP slot in the switch, and then insert the fibers into
the TX port and RX port of the SFP module.
Figure 19 Connecting the SFP Optical Module
Identify the RX port and TX port of an SFP optical module:
1. Insert the two connectors in one end of two fibers into the SFP module, and those in the
other end into the peer module.
