SFP+ specifications
This section provides technical specifications for the supported 10 gigabit SFP+ models. Use these
specifications to aid in network design.
The specifications in this section are a subset of the IEEE 802.3ae, 802.3aq, and 802.3ak
specifications. For more information, see these standards documents. All Avaya SFP+ transceivers
meet or exceed these standards.
Important:
Avaya recommends that you only use Avaya qualified transceivers. If you do choose to use
other vendor transceivers, Avaya does not support them.
SFP+ labels
The typical Avaya SFP+ transceiver has a label on the top and bottom or side of the transceiver.
The following figures show example labels. Avaya does use alternate labels, depending on the size
of the device and space available for label information. Some devices do not have a CLEI code or
label.
