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.).
