SFP - OVERVIEW

The connections between control
surface and processing rack, as well
as all Hydra2 network connections—
connections between I/O boxes
and routers, and router to router
connections between different
racks— are made via SFP modules
(Small Form-factor Pluggable).
SFPs can be provided for RJ45 copper
connections, as well as for singlemode or
multimode fiber on LC connectors. This
allows for each port's connection type
to be chosen depending on the distance
of the run or to match the infrastructure
present. SFPs can easily be changed on a
port by port basis as and when required.
The correct quantity of SFPs are supplied
pre-fitted. The type of each connection—
copper, singlemode fiber or multimode
fiber, should be specified at the time of
order to ensure the correct SFP types
are supplied. Additional SFP modules
can be ordered if required. If a system is
to be connected to an existing Hydra2
network, please discuss this with your
Calrec project leader, sales person or local
distributor to ensure the correct SFP and
SFP MODULES
• Both SFP types above have
a handle latching mechanism,
shown here in the locked
position. The unit on the left is
a singlemode duplex LC fiber
module. The unit on the right is a
copper RJ45 module.

SFP modules plug into front panel slots
on core and modular I/O controller cards,
and rear panel slots on fixed format I/O
boxes. The modules can be fitted or
removed whilst the system is powered and
without removing or opening any card or
box cases.
Note the orientation of the SFP modules,
as shown in the illustrations on this
page—modules fitted in even numbered
router ports (left hand column) are fitted
the opposite way around to those in the
odd numbered router ports (right hand
column). Likewise for fixed format I/O
boxes, the primary SFP module is the
opposite way around to the secondary
SFP module. The modules are orientated
so that the release catch for the RJ45 /
LC connector plugs, once inserted, are on
the outside edge.
