SFP Gigabit fiber/copper ports
SICOM6000 has 4 combo Gigabit SFP slots or 10/100/1000Base‐TX RJ45 ports. SFP slots support
hot‐swappable 1000Base‐LX full duplex single mode or multi mode fiber port SFP module and
10/100/1000Base‐TX RJ45 SFP module. Hot‐swappable SFP modules: LC connector for fiber port,
RJ45 connector for TP port. Fiber ports should be used in pairs (TX and RX are a pair). TX port is
for transmission, connected to receiving port RX in a remote switch; RX port is for receiving,
connected to the transmitting port TX in the pair in the same remote switch. Using 1000Base‐LX
fiber ports can form redundant fiber ring network with the recovery time less than 50ms, which
effectively increase the reliability of network operation. The SFP modules are shown in the below

Gigabit SFP modules hot plug and play steps:
z
Take a close look at SFP module. There are two breaks on the fiber port SFP module with LC
connector and one break on the copper port SFP module with RJ45 connector
z
Inserting: Inserting the end of module without breaks into the SFP slot in the switch until you
hear a sound.
z
Pulling out: Put down the handle in the SFP module, forming a 90 degree angle with the port,
then use the handle to pull out the SFP module from the SFP slot.
