Chapter 5 Install Stratix 5700 Switches
Install an SFP Module
On switch catalog numbers that support communication over fiber-optic cable,
sfp modules are inserted into SFP module slots on the front of the switch.
These field-replaceable modules provide the uplink optical interfaces, send
(TX) and receive (RX).
You can use any combination of compatible SFP modules:
• Each SFP module must be of the same type as the SFP module on the
other end of the cable. The cable must not exceed the stipulated cable
length for reliable communications.
• Once you install SFP modules in the switch, be aware that the overall
temperature rating of the combined modules (switch and SFP modules)
is limited to the lowest maximum temperature rating and the highest
minimum temperature rating.
For cable length and temperature specifications, see the Stratix Ethernet Device
Specifications Technical Data, publication
1783-TD001 .
WARNING: When you insert or remove the small form-factor pluggable
(SFP) optical transceiver while power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This
could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
ATTENTION: Under certain conditions, viewing the small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver may expose the eye to hazard. When
viewed under some conditions, the optical port may expose the eye beyond
the maximum permissible exposure recommendations.
ATTENTION: Use SFP modules from only Rockwell Automation. For details
about supported modules, see the Stratix Ethernet Device Specifications
Technical Data, publication 1783-TD001 .
ATTENTION: We strongly recommend that you do not install or remove the
SFP module with fiber-optic cables attached. If you leave the cables attached,
damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP
module can occur. Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP
module.
IMPORTANT Installing and removing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not
remove and insert SFP modules more often than is necessary.
