Handling SFP/SFP+, XFP, and QSFP+ transceivers
If you have a 5800, CSAM, MSAM chassis, you can insert transceivers designed for
testing a variety of optical circuits. Examples of SFP and QSFP transceivers are
provided in
and
.
•
The 5800v1 accept SFP transceivers.
•
The 5800v2, 5882 and CSAM accept SFP/SFP+ transceivers.
•
The 5800-100G accepts QSFP+/QSFP28 and SFP/SFP+/SFP28 transceivers.
•
The MSAM (with connected SFP and/or XFP PIMs), accepts SFP and XFP trans-
ceivers.
•
The CSAM accepts QSFP+ transceivers.
Each of these pluggable transceiver modules has similar insertion characteristics.

Inserting an SFP/SFP+, XFP, or QSFP+ transceiver
Before inserting an SFP/SFP+, XFP, or QSFP+ transceiver, consider the following:
•
Applied power must not exceed the power level specified on the panel for each
optical connector.
