Installing The Sfp Transceiver - Planet GSW-1820HP User Manual

5.2 Installing the SFP Transceiver

The sections describe how to insert an SFP transceiver into an SFP slot of the
802.3at PoE+ Switch.
The SFP transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug in
and out the transceiver to/from any SFP port without having to power down
the 802.3at PoE+ Switch, as Figure 5-3 shows.
 Approved PLANET SFP Transceivers
PLANET 802.3at PoE+ Switch supports both single mode and multi-mode SFP
transceivers. The website link of approved PLANET SFP transceivers is shown
below:

switches&c2=switch-accessories&c3=gigabit-transceiver
It is recommended to use PLANET SFP on the 802.3at PoE+
Switch. If you insert an SFP transceiver that is not supported,
the 802.3at PoE+ Switch will not recognize it.
1. Before we connect the 802.3at PoE+ Switch to the other network device,
we have to make sure both sides of the SFP transceivers are with the same
media type, for example, 1000BASE-SX to 1000BASE-SX; 1000BASE-LX to
1000BASE-LX.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches with the SFP transceiver
requirement.
 To connect to 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver, please use the multi-mode
fiber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
 To connect to 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver, please use the single-mode
fiber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
