Chapter 1: Overview
SFP Slots
32
The two SFP slots support Ethernet 100/1000Base fiber optic, MSA-
compliant SFP transceivers. You can use transceivers to connect
switches to other network devices over large distances, build a high-speed
backbone network between network devices, or connect high-speed
devices, such as servers, to your network.
Refer to the product datasheet for a list of supported Ethernet
transceivers.
To protect SFP transceivers from heat-related damage, you should select
transceivers whose maximum operating temperatures exceed the
anticipated maximum ambient temperature at the switch installation site.
Table 5 provides recommendations for SFP maximum operating
temperatures for several ambient site temperatures.
