Installing transceivers into the transceiver ports
This switch supports 4 SPF+ 10 Gbps ports. SFP+ technology allows a smooth transition from 1 to 10 Gigabit
Ethernet infrastructures in switches. This switch supports both fiber and copper cabling solutions.
For low-cost cabling, copper-based 10 Gbps Twinaxial cables can be used, and for longer cable reaches,
Short-Reach (SR) optical transceivers are excellent. Connectivity can be established from the SFP+ ports to
10 Gigabit Ethernet switches or hosts using a fiber/copper cable that has an SFP+ transceiver on one end
and an SFP+ transceiver on the other end.
The figure below illustrates how to properly insert SFP+ transceivers into the switch’s SFP+ ports.
