SFP Fiber Ethernet Ports
The SFP ports labelled 2.5G ‘1’ and ‘2’ are 2.5GBASE-X/1000BASE-X SFP fiber Ethernet ports. SFP modules are hot
swappable and plug into the SFP port to enable connection to other devices or the networks, using either fiber optic
or copper network cables. When a SFP module with optical ports plugs into a SFP port, fiber patch cables are required
for data transmission. When a SFP module with electrical ports plugs into a SFP port, Ethernet copper cables are
required for data transmission.
For each port there is a transmit (TX) and receive (RX) signal. When making connections ensure that the transmit (TX)
port of the switch connects to the receive (RX) port of the other device, and the receive (RX) port of the switch
connects to the transmit (TX) port of the other device.
For fiber SFP, the SFP port accepts 2.5GBASE-X/1000BASE-X SFP plug in fiber modules with LC type connector and
depending on the SFP module multimode, single mode, long-haul (for connectors up to 80+ km).
For copper SFP the user must set the speed negotiated between the Copper SFP and the link partners in the switch.

Supported Ethernet Cables:
•
Fiber: Fiber patch cables with LC connector
•
Copper: Direct Attached Cables
Refer to the SFP module’s datasheet regarding supported optical or copper cables.
Laser!
To avoid ocular exposure and a possible eye injury:
•
Do not attempt to view optical connectors that might be emitting laser energy
•
Do not power up the laser without connecting the laser to the optical fiber and putting
the cover in position, as laser outputs will emit infrared laser light at this point.
