3.4.5 Connecting to SFP Ports

The switch provides four ports for SFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers. All 1000BASE fiber optic ports operate at
1 Gbps full duplex. The 100BASE fiber optic ports operate at 100 Mbps full duplex.
Cable Type
100BASE-SX
62.5/125 micron multimode
50/125 micron multimode
100BASE-LX 9/125 micron single
mode
10BASE-LH 9/125 micron single
mode
The length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link should not
NOTE
exceed the relevant specified standards. However, power budget
constraints should also be considered when calculating the maximum
fiber optic cable length for a a particular link. Maximum distances may
vary for SFP vendors.
WARNING!
To connect cables to SFP transceiver ports:
1. Remove and keep the fiber port's rubber plug. When not connected to a fiber cable, the rubber plug should
be replaced to protect the optics.
2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently with a
clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will
impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port.

This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The
lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product
and are inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should
never look directly at a transmit port when it is powered on. When
selecting a fiber SFP device, considering safety, please make sure that
it can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended
maximum operational temperature of the product. You must also use an
approved Laser Class 1 SFP transceiver.
