Note: The length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link should not exceed
the relevant standards specified in this section. However, power budget constraints
should also be considered when calculating the maximum fiber optic cable length
for a particular link.
Note: Maximum distances may vary for different SFP/SFP+ vendors.
Follow these steps to connect cables to SFP/SFP+ transceiver ports.
Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic cable. The
lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser Product and are
inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at
a transmit port when it is powered on.
Warning: When selecting a fiber SFP/SFP+ device, considering safety, please make
sure that it can function at a temperature that is not less than the recommended
maximum operational temperature of the product. You must also use an approved
Laser Class 1 SFP/SFP+ transceiver.
