Supported Optical Devices - Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 Series Manual

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 switches.
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 (1 Gbps) and SFP+ (10 Gbps) to attain different line rates and reaches.
The following table describes the SFPs including the reach provided by various SFPs.
This table is informational only—not all Avaya Ethernet switching and routing products support all
the SFPs listed here.
For more information about SFP and SFP+ transceivers, including technical specifications and
installation instructions, see Installing Transceivers and Optical Components on Avaya Ethernet
Routing Switch 3600 Series.
Important:
The attainable cable length can vary depending on the quality of the fiber-optic cable used.
