2.4.1. SFP+/SFP28 Port Connection (LC Type Connec-
tor)
The Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) port is the second generation of the SFP intercon-
nect system designed for 10Gb/s data rate. The SFP+ ports support 10-gigabit IEEE 802.3ae Eth-
ernet for fiber mediums.
The Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28 (SFP28) port is the next generation of the SFP interconnect
system designed for 25Gb/s data rate. The SFP28 ports enables error-free transmission of 25 Gb/
s over 100 meters of OM4 multimode fiber.
The SFP+/SFP28 ports are numbered and have corresponding SFP port LEDs.
To install an SFP module, do the following:
1. Slide the SFP module into an SFP port.
Ensure the SFP module is positioned correctly before installing it into the port.
2. Push completely until the module locks into place.
3. Repeat the above procedures to install additional SFP+ modules.
The SFP port LED lights green when the network link is established.
