Note
It is recommended to use PLANET SFP on the 802.3at PoE+
Switch. If you insert an SFP transceiver that is not supported, the
802.3at PoE+ Switch will not recognize it.
1. Before we connect the 802.3at PoE+ Switch to the other network device, we
have to make sure both sides of the SFP transceivers are with the same media
type, for example, 1000BASE-SX to 1000BASE-SX; 1000BASE-LX to 1000BASE-
LX.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches with the SFP transceiver
requirement.
To connect to 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver, please use the multi-mode fiber
cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
To connect to 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver, please use the single-mode fiber
cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
Connect the Fiber Cable
1. Insert the duplex LC connector into the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device with SFP transceiver installed.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the 802.3at PoE+
Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating correctly.
Remove the Transceiver Module
1. Make sure there is no network activity anymore.
2. Remove the Fiber-Optic Cable gently.
3. Lift up the lever of the MGB module and turn it to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever, as the Figure 3-5 shows.
