Chapter 3 Hardware Overview

Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.

You can change transceivers while the Switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.

Type: SFP connection interface

Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)

To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber- optic module’s connectors.
