Installing Transceivers into the Transceiver Ports

The Switch is equipped with SFP+ ports that can be used to connect various networking devices to this switch that do
not support the standard RJ45 wiring connection. These ports are generally used to connect this switch to optical fiber
connections and can be used to connect devices to the Switch over great distances. The maximum distance that the
RJ45 wiring connection can reach is 100 meters. Fiber optic connections can span several kilometers.
The figure below illustrates how to insert SFP/SFP+ transceivers into the SFP+ ports.
NOTE: For the full list of D-Link SFP/SFP+ transceivers that are supported on the Switch, refer to the
Supported SFP/SFP+ Transceivers table on page 33.
NOTE: Only use pluggable optical modules and Direct-Attach Cables (DAC) that meet the following
regulatory requirements:
• Class 1 Laser Product
• UL and/or CSA registered component for North America
• FCC 21 CFR Chapter 1, Sub-chapter J in accordance with FDA & CDRH requirements
• IEC/EN 60825-1/-2: 2007 2nd edition or later, European Standard
