Chapter 10: SFP+ specifications

This section provides technical specifications for the supported 10 gigabit SFP+ models. Use these
specifications to aid in network design.
The specifications in this section are a subset of the IEEE 802.3ae, 802.3aq, and 802.3ak specifications.
For more information, see these standards documents. All Avaya SFP+ transceivers meet or exceed these
standards.
Important:
Avaya recommends that you only use Avaya qualified transceivers. If you do choose to use other vendor
transceivers, Avaya does not support them.
Important:
Ensure that you use the correct speed transceiver for the port.
For example, if you insert a 1G transceiver into a 10G port, the following message appears on the
console.
CPU# [date time] COP-SW INFO Slot #: 1G SFP detected in 10G SFP+ port #. Port
offline.
In addition, the port is prevented from coming online. This is true even if the inserted part is Avaya-
qualified.
Important:
Passive DACs are not supported but may be recognized. If so, they will display as 10GbOther.
However, they will not pass data.

SFP+ labels

The typical Avaya SFP+ has a label on the top and bottom or side of the transceiver. The
following figures show example labels. Avaya does use alternate labels, depending on the size
of the device and space available for label information.
