Installing An Sfp Transceiver - Nortel 325-24T Configuration Manual

Appendix A

Installing an SFP Transceiver

SFPs are hot-swappable input and output enhancement products that allow
Gigabit Ethernet ports to link to Short Wavelength (SX), Long Wave length (LX),
and Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexed (CWDM) fiber optic networks.
The Ethernet Switch 425 has two front-panel ports. They are port numbers 25 and
26 on the Ethernet Switch 425-24T and port numbers 49 and 50 on the Ethernet
Switch 425-48T.
If you insert an SFP GBIC into one on these ports, that port handles gigabit
Ethernet speed only. If there are no optional SFPs inserted in to these ports, they
function at 10/100/1000 Mbps ports.
This appendix describes technical specifications and installation instructions on
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, which includes the includes
Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexed (CWDM) SFPs, that are supported by
the Ethernet Switch 425.
