3.3 Installing the SFP Transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot.
The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug in and
out the transceiver to/from any SFP port without having to power down the
Industrial PoE+ Switch as Figure 2-3 shows.

Plug-in the SFP Transceiver
PLANET Industrial PoE+ Switch supports 1000Mbps mode with both single mode
and multi-mode SFP transceivers.
1. Before we connect Industrial PoE+ Switch to the other network device, we have
to make sure both sides of the SFP transceivers are with the same media type,
for example, 1000BASE-SX to 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX to 1000BASE-LX.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches with the SFP transceiver
requirement.
To connect to
1000BASE-SX
SFP transceiver, please use the
multi-mode
fiber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
To connect to
1000BASE-LX
or
1000BASE-BX
SFP transceiver, please
use the
single-mode
fiber cable with one side being the male duplex LC
connector type.
Connect the Fiber Cable
1. Insert the duplex LC connector into the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device with SFP transceiver installed.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the Industrial PoE+
Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating correctly.
