Page 14: Sfp Device Installation
SFP Device Installation Two optional dual channel CWDM receiver SFP devices can be installed on an 8943FC module. Both are installed on the front of the module circuit board. The type of SFP device depends on the application of the module and the 8939FCA or 8939FCB module it will be feeding. - Page 15 Installation of each SFP device involves three steps: 1. Mount the metal bracket to the SFP device, 2. Mount the SFP device and bracket on the top side of the 8943FC front module, and 3. Install the fiber cable assembly to the SFP device and the rear LC adapters.
