The following sections describe small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers in the Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 Series. For installation and removal procedures, see Installing Transceivers and Optical Components on Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4900 and 5900 Series, NN47211-302. Installing transceivers About this task This procedure describes the steps used to install transceivers.
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.
Page 57
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. The following table lists and describes the Avaya SFP+ models.
You must consider the minimum attenuation requirement based on the specifications of third-party equipment. For more information about minimum insertion losses for Avaya optical products, see Installing Transceivers and Optical Components on Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4900 and 5900 Series, NN47211-302.
