IMPORTANT:
The SFP-GE-LX-SM1310-BIDI and SFP-GE-LX-SM1490-BIDI transceiver modules, the
SFP-GE-LH40-SM1310-BIDI and SFP-GE-LH40-SM1550-BIDI transceiver modules, and the
SFP-GE-LH70-SM1490-BIDI and SFP-GE-LH70-SM1550-BIDI transceiver modules must be used
in pairs. For example, if one end uses the SFP-GE-LX-SM1310-BIDI transceiver module, the other
end must use the SFP-GE-LX-SM1490-BIDI transceiver module.
