    Transceiver module type Connector head Gigabit SFP optical transceiver module 1G and 10G SFP copper RJ-45 transceiver module (1G requires Cat5e. 10G requires Cat6A for maximum supported distances.) NOTE: • The available transceiver modules and network cables vary by device models and are subject to change over time.
  • Page 8: Central Wavelength

    To meet different transmission distance requirements, choose suitable optical transceiver modules according to actual networking conditions. Central wavelength Central wavelength (wl) represents the wave band used for optical signal transmission. The following central wavelengths are available for common optical transceiver modules representing three wavebands: •...

  • Page 10: Fiber Diameter

    Fiber diameter is expressed as core diameter/cladding diameter, in μm. For example, 9/125 μm means that the fiber core diameter is 9 μm and the fiber cladding diameter is 125 μm. For the HPE devices, the following fiber diameters are recommended: • G.652 standard single-mode fiber: 9/125 μm •...
  • Page 11: Optical Parameters

    MPO connectors are available with 12 fibers or 24 fibers: 12-fiber MPO connector (40G, SR4, eSR4, and 100G SR4 transceivers use 8 of the available 12 fibers. The four center fibers are unused. ) Figure 3: End face of a 12-fiber connector and channel assignment MPO transceivers typically use four channels to communicate.
  • Page 12: Copper Transceiver Modules

    Copper transceiver modules Copper transceiver modules transmit signals over Category-5, -5e, -6, and -6a unshielded twisted pair (UTP). UTP transmission cover shorter distances than fiber transmission and can be used in small-sized networks only. 10G over twisted pair requires the use of Category 6 and 6a. Copper transceivers are supported in 1G SFP and 10G SFP+ ports where listed in the compatibility tables.

    Chapter 4 SFP28 modules SFP28 optical transceiver modules SFP28 ports are 25G speed ports and similar in size to a 10G SFP+ or 1G SFP port. They have supporting circuitry to enable 25G speed transceiver, DAC, and AOC components. Although 10G and 1G transceiver products may 'fit' into an SFP28 port, the particular switch model or module may be limited in supporting lower speeds.
