Ì
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack so that you can
open the front door completely (~60 cm/25 inches).
Ì
Leave approximately 80 cm/30 inches of clearance in the back of
the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

Sophos Firewall How-To Library
SFP/SFP+ Ports
The XGS 4300/4500 models offer a variety of SFP/SFP+ ports allowing you to plugin
various GBICs (transceivers) to connect to fiber or copper networks. The abbreviation SFP
GBIC stands for small form-factore plugable GigaBit interface converter, a flexible interface
which changes electronic signals into optical signals. The converters used with the
appliance are often also called Mini-GBIC or New GBIC.
To use SFP/SFP+ ports, you will need the appropriate transceivers or DAC cables
(combining transceivers and cables into one). These are not delivered with the appliance
but available through your Sophos partner. There are different module types, and the
required type is determined by the existing network.
Note:
The SFP+ ports of the Sophos FleXi Port modules are dual-rate capable supporting
both 1GbE and 10GbE speeds when using appropriate GBICs also supporting both rates.
Caution:
The SFP and SFP+ ports use lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The
lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser equipment and are inherently
eye-safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at a transmit
port when it is powered on. Always install appropriate and UL approved Laser Class I
Transceivers, rated 3.3Vdc, max. 1W, in the fiber ports before using the fiber ports.
