PoE ports.

SFP Combo Port The AT-GS900/8POE Gigabit Ethernet switch has one SFP port that can accommodate an optional Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver.

The AT-GS900/8POE Gigabit Ethernet switch has one SFP combo port (Port 8) that can accommodate one optional Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module. The copper redundant port (Port 8R) becomes the redundant/standby port when the link on Port 8 is lost.

An SFP module is a fast and easy way for you to add a 1000 Mbps fiber optic port to your Gigabit PoE switch. You can use the module to extend the distance of your network, build a high-speed backbone network between switches, or connection additional end-nodes to the network, such as high-speed servers.

The SFP transceiver is a fast and easy way for you to add an 1000 Mbps fiber optic uplink port to your Fast Ethernet switch. You can use the SFP to extend the distance of your network, build a high-speed backbone network between switches, or connect additional end nodes to the network, such as high-speed servers.

Figure 2 shows an example of an SFP transceiver.

Note

The SFP transceiver only supports Gigabit operation and works independently without taking any port priority.
