GSS Series User Manual
1.5. Overview of the Optional SFP Modules
With the GSS-16T4SFP switch, the SFP ports are paired with RJ-45 copper ports 13, 14, 15
and 16. In the case of the GSS-24T4SFP, the SFP ports are paired with RJ-45 copper ports
21, 22, 23 and 24. Only one of any given paired port can be used. In this manner, these
paired ports can be seen as ‘Dual Media’ ports that support 10/100/1000Mbps or 1000Mbps
fibre via the SFP interfaces.
Optional 1000Mbps mini-GBIC fibre transceiver modules can be used for high-speed uplink
connections to fibre backbones or servers, when installed in the SFP ports. A range of
optional Alloy mini-GBIC modules are available:

Notes: * The WDM (Wave Division Multiplexer) mini-GBIC modules are
designed to facilitate a link over a single core of single mode fibre cable.
The two units must be used in a paired manner, one at either end of the link.
* Mini-GBIC modules that are designed to the relevant standards should be
compatible with any make of switch with SFP ports. If you have concerns
regarding compatibility, please contact the supplier of your mini-GBIC
product.
* The information given in the table above is current at time of publication;
availability of individual Alloy mini-GBIC modules may vary over time.
