SFP Information
Version 1.0
Your troubleshooting and diagnostics might reveal that the optical transceiver
component of a GigE optical physical interface card needs to be replaced. The optical
transceiver serves two functions:
Converts electrical signals into optical signals used to communicate with other
•
optical networking equipment.
• Serves as the receptacle for the LC duplex fiber optic connectors.
Optical transceivers are hot swappable and may be replaced while the Acme Packet
4500 is powered on. Leave the NIU in the Acme Packet 4500 as you extract the
optical transceiver.
To obtain a replacement optical transceiver, contact your Acme Packet sales
representative directly or by email at tac@acmepacket.com.
This section describes the media signaling interfaces, small form factor pluggable.
The signaling and media interface, provide network connectivity for the signaling
and media traffic. Each interface can connect to a network at gigabit ethernet speeds.
Copper RJ45 cable is inserted into the NIU4500 card.

the NIU4500 card.
Only transceivers qualified by acme packet can be used in the Net-Net 4500. Mixed
transceiver types are unsupported. All four transceiver locations must be populated
with the same SFP type based on compliance testing.
4-port gigabit ethernet copper SFP LX, SX, or Copper [1000Mbps for SX, LX;
10/100/1000Mbps CX] These three transceiver types are inserted into the NIU4500
card.
