Supported optical devices

Use optical devices to achieve high bit-rate communications and long transmission distances. The
following section describes the supported optical devices on the VSP 4000 system.
Important:
Avaya recommends that you use Avaya branded SFP and SFP+ transceivers as they undergo
extensive qualification and testing. Avaya is not responsible for any problems that arise from
using non-Avaya branded SFP and SFP+ transceivers.
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers
SFPs are hot-swappable input and output enhancement components designed to allow gigabit
Ethernet ports to link with other gigabit Ethernet ports over various media types.
You can use various SFP (1Gb/s) and SFP+ (10Gb/s) to attain different line rates and reaches. The
following table describes the SFPs including the reach provided by various SFPs.
Important:
The attainable cable length can vary depending on the quality of the fiber optic cable used.
Small Form Factor Pluggable plus (SFP+) transceivers
SFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable input and output enhancement components that allow 10
gigabit connections. All Avaya SFP+ transceivers use Lucent connectors (LC) to provide precision
keying and low interface losses.
For more information about SFP and SFP+ transceivers, including technical specifications and
installation instructions, see Installing Transceivers and Optical components on VSP Operating
System Software, NN47227-301.
Optical power considerations
When you connect the device to collocated equipment, ensure that enough optical attenuation exists
to avoid overloading the receivers of each device. You must consider the minimum attenuation
requirement based on the specifications of third-party equipment. For more information about
