4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Fp - Nortel Passport 15000 Hardware Description

4-port Gigabit Ethernet FP

The 4-port Gigabit Ethernet (4pGe) FP provides four full-duplex Gigabit
Ethernet ports (also known as optical module sockets). Separately ordered
small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver modules are required to
provide optical signal reception and transmission. The 4pGe requires that an
SFP module be plugged into each of its four optical module sockets (ports) in
order for the card to operate. For the general description of what an SFP is,
see "SFP optical module" (page 288).
For the interface information about the 4-port Gigabit Ethernet FP, see:
• "Faceplate of a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet FP with PEC NTHW49"
(page 206); for the description of the port LEDs on the faceplate, see
"Status LEDs of the Ethernet ports on an NTHW49" (page 359)
• "4-port Gigabit Ethernet cable assemblies" (page 206)
• "Custom-making an LC cable assembly for an NTHW49" (page 207)
• "SFP modules for an NTHW49" (page 208)
The software name (card type) of the NTHW49 is 4pGe.
