Hardware Installation
Connect SFP Transceivers (Combo Ports 1-5)
The ES8509-XT equips five SFP ports combined
with RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports (Ports 1-5).
The SFP ports accept standard mini GBIC SFP
transceivers that support 100BASE-FX/
1000BASE-X.
To ensure system reliability, Comtrol
recommends using
Comtrol certified SFP
Transceivers.
1. Plug the SFP transceiver into the SFP fiber
transceiver.
2. Connect the transmit channel to the receive
channel at each end.
3. Check the direction/angle of the fiber transceiver and the fiber cable.
Note: This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Do not stare at the Laser/LED Beam.
The SFP port does not function until the fiber cable is linked to another active device. The SFP and
corresponding RJ45 ports work in an exclusive mode. Traffic sent or received through the SFP module has
priority thus no traffic is sent or received over the corresponding RJ45 connection. To use the RJ45
connection, remove the corresponding SFP.
Multi-Mode cables should not exceed 2KM and Single-Mode cables should not exceed 30km.
