Installing SP10TW Direct Connect Twinax Cables in SFP+ Ports
The SFP+ ports support SP10TW1 and SP10TW3 direct connect twinax
cables. The cables offer an economical way to add 10Gbps connections
over short distances. They have SFP+ transceivers on both ends and
come in lengths of one and three meters.
Note
The GS970EMX Switches do not support the seven meter
SP10TW7 cable.
To install SP10TW cables, perform the following procedure:
1. Select an SFP+ port for the transceiver.
2. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
3. Position the transceiver with the Allied Telesis label facing up. Refer to
Figure 74.
