Installing AT-SP10TW Direct Connect Twinax Cables in the Switches

104
The SFP/SFP+ transceiver ports of the switches support AT-SP10TW1
and AT-SP10TW3 direct connect twinax cables. They come in lengths of 1
and 3 meters, respectively, and have SFP+ transceivers on both ends.
The cables are an economical way to add 10 Gbps connections over short
distances.
Note
The AT-x530L-52GPX switch does not support the AT-SP10TW
direct connect cable.
To install AT-SP10TW cables in the switches, perform the following
procedure:
1. Select a port for the transceiver.
2. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
3. To install the transceiver in a port in the top row, position the
transceiver with the Allied Telesis label facing up. To install the
transceiver in a port in the bottom row, position the transceiver with the
label facing down. Refer to Figure 54.
