Optical Fiber SFP module Transceiver Video Show

You Known, the optical fiber module is useful to be used in the fiber optical telecommunication and FTTx. And it has the following two classification methods.

(1)According to the rate: 100Base (100M), 1000Base (Gigabit) for Ethernet applications, 155M, 622M, 2.5G, 10G for 10GESDH applications

(2)According to the package: 1 × 9, SFF, SFP, GBIC, XENPAK, XFP.

In this video, FOT will show you one kind of the it, the SFP module transceiver. This kind of fiber optic transceiver is the hot-swappable small package module. Currently the highest data rate can reach 4G, mostly adopting LC interface. It is the abbreviation of SFPSMALLFORMPLUGGABLE, and it can be simply understood as an upgraded version of GBIC.

Then, how to use SFP fiber optic transceiver + optical fiber module? Let me tell you next.

1. Select SFP module transceiver + optical module;

Before installing the SFP + optical module, you must select the appropriate optical module. So how to choose the right SFP + optical module? There are two main points, as follows:

2. Determine the required transmission distance;

SFP fiber optic transceiver + optical modules have different transmission distances of 150m, 300m, 10km, 40km, etc. You can choose the appropriate SFP + optical module according to the actual application.

3. Determine the wavelength limitation or requirement;

Different types of SFP module transceiver + optical modules can meet different wavelength requirements. Generally, there is a label on the top, bottom or side of the SFP + optical module. The label will explain the basic information of this optical module, so that you can easily identify and select the appropriate optical module. For example, the picture of Dell compatible SFP + optical module is shown below. From the label, it can be seen that it is an SFP + optical module with a wavelength of 850nm.

4. Install SFP fiber optic transceiver+ fast optical module;

5. Remove the SFP + optical module from the protective packaging;

6. Hold the SFP module transceiver + optical module between the thumb and index finger;

Insert the SFP fiber optic transceiver+ optical module into the SFP + slot of the switch, and apply slight pressure to the SFP + optical module until the device clicks and locks in place. If SFP + resists pressure, do not force it, you can turn it over, and then reinsert it into the SFP + slot; remove the dust cover from the SFP + optical hole and insert the optical cable.

7. Precautions for installing SFP + optical module;

8. The data rate of SFP module transceiver + optical module and XFP optical module are both 10G, but they are not compatible with the same device, so do not install SFP + optical module in the XFP slot, you must ensure that the slot is SFP + slot before installation;

9. The appearance of SFP fiber optic transceiver + optical modules and SFP optical modules are very similar, but their data rates and functions are different, so do not install SFP + optical modules in SFP slots. Before installing or using SFP + optical modules, you must ensure that your switch and SFP + optical modules are compatible with each other;

10. Check whether the SFP + optical module is the correct model for network configuration; before installing the SFP + optical module, make sure it is clean and has not received any pollution;

Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that hurts your eyes, so do n’t look at the ports of the fiber or connector. You can assume that the fiber optic cable has been connected to the light source;

To prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge, please always wear an anti-static wrist strap;

Only trained personnel can install this product;

It takes about three minutes to install the SFP fiber optic transceiver + optical module.

11. Remove SFP + optical module;

12. Disconnect the optical fiber from the SFP fiber optic transceiver + optical module;

Put the dust cover on the fiber hole and connector;

Slide the latch handle down and use it to extract the SFP + optical module;

Pull out the SFP + optical module. If the SFP + optical module cannot be easily slid out of the slot, please use the side swing motion to pull out the SFP + optical module from the slot;

Store the SFP + optical module in a safe place, and wait until the next time you need it, and then install it.
