1.2.1.2 Mini-GBIC Slots
These are slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. A transceiver
is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a transceiver to
connect a fiber-optic cable to the ZyWALL. The ZyWALL does not come with
transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF
committee's INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.
You can change transceivers while the ZyWALL is operating. You can use different
transceivers to connect to devices with different types of fiber-optic connectors.
• Type: SFP connection interface
• Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-
optic module's connectors or fiber-optic cable.
