Chapter 4 Using the SFP Fiber Optic Modules The Ethernet Routing Switch 1648T provides 4 SFP slots, while the 1624G has 24 slots and the 1612G has 12 slots. These slots accept SFP fiber optic modules that operate at 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode. They can connect fiber optic cables to other network devices.
Use the correct fiber optic cable type to ensure the proper performance of the fiber optic network link. To install an SFP module: Insert the module into an empty slot on the 1600 Series switch. Figure 8 on page 39 shows the module being inserted in the 1648T model.
Chapter 4 Using the SFP Fiber Optic Modules 39 the SFP module is properly aligned with the slot, and that the module’s rear electrical connector is facing down for the two SFP slots on top of the group of four. b the electrical connectors on the SFP fiber optic module are facing up for the two SFP slots on the bottom of the group of four.
40 Chapter 4 Using the SFP Fiber Optic Modules Note that you cannot remove this type of module without first disconnecting the fiber optic cable from the module because the fiber optic cables block the movement of the lever. Figure 9 shows the removal of a lever-type SFP module from the Ethernet Routing Switch 1648T.
Chapter 4 Using the SFP Fiber Optic Modules 41 Figure 10 Slider-type SFP Fiber Optic Module Removal Caution: Ensure that the connector on the fiber optic cable is properly aligned. You can insert this connector one way only; if it does not fit, do not force it.
