3.2.6Gigabit SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) Optical Transceivers
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in optical communications for both telecommunication and data communications applications. Due to its compact, hot pluggable characteristics, SFPs are becoming a very popular choice for various applications. The small-chassis Magnum 6KQ is designed for industry- standard Gb-SFPs and Gb-SFPCU (copper) for user selection of the SFP gigabit media type as desired.
All SFPs used in Magnum 6KQs are compliant with the industry standard Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) ensuring compatibility with a wide range of networking kit.

Note: It is highly recommended to remove the fiber cable first before removing the SFP transceiver for any reason. Not removing the fiber cable first can damage the fiber cable, cable connector or optical interfaces. It is advised not to remove and insert a SFP transceiver frequently as this may shorten its useful life.
Note: Always use an ESD wrist strap while handling the SFP transceivers since the SFP modules are static sensitive devices.
Note: The copper 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver port supports 1000Mb only. It is recommended to use a straight-through RJ-45(4-twisted pair) connection while connecting to any Server/workstation. While connecting with any Switch/repeater or other device, it is recommended to use Crossover RJ-45 (4-twisted pair) category 5 or higher cabling. The maximum length supported on copper 1000BASE-T is 100mts (328 ft.).
