NOTICE
Use only approved pluggable transceivers
If you use components not approved by Siemens AG, in particular SFP / SFP+ transceivers,
Siemens cannot accept any responsibility for the correct functioning of the "Ethernet switch
system" according to the specification.
If components are used that have not been Siemens approved, Siemens cannot vouch for
their compatibility or for risk-free use of these components.
Note
Use media modules only in an approved modular device
Use an MM900 media module only for a device equipped with suitable slots for such modules.
Example: X308-2M.
The names and labeling of the media modules differ
● Example: The device is called, for example, "MM992-2SFP" [6GK5 992-2AS00-8AA0], the
labeling on the device is "9922AS". You will find detailed information on the labeling of the
media modules in the "MM900 media modules" compact operating instructions.
Note
Shipbuilding approval
The shipbuilding approval applies to all SFP pluggable transceivers.
Note
Slot number
With modular devices, the MM900 media modules must be given a slot number.
The slot number labels are supplied with the modular devices.
Note
Different colors of the clip
An SFP with multimode has a black clip and an SFP with single mode has a blue clip. To
protect the pins, these are fitted with a dummy plug.
Note
Plugging and pulling during operation
With SCALANCE X, the pluggable transceivers can be plugged and pulled during operation.
If you have questions on the use of SIMATIC NET products, please contact your Siemens
sales partner.
