Introduction
SFP modules, small form-factor pluggable modules, also known as mini-GBICs, are hot-swappable Gigabit
Ethernet optical transceivers.
SFP Modules
zSFP-TX: conforms to 1000Base-T copper wiring Gigabit Ethernet standard
zSFP-SX: conforms to 1000Base-SX fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard
zSFP-LX: conforms to 1000Base-LX fiber optic Gigabit Ethernet standard
Approved SFP Modules

Note: Approved optics are tested and supported within their controller/switch systems. Non-approved, third party optics are
not tested or supported; therefore, Proper functionality of non-approved, third party optics are not guaranteed. For a complete
list of approved optics, contact your sales representative. Specifications are listed on page 1 of this guide.

SFP Installation
To install an SFP module:
1. Use standard ESD precautions when installing an SFP module.
2. Slide the SFP module into a 1000Base-X port of the controller/switch until a connection is made and an
audible click is heard.
3. Lock the SFP in place by moving the latch on the module to an upright position, facing the top of the module.

LC Fiber Optic Cable Connection
To connect an LC fiber optic cable into an SFP-SX or SFP-LX module:
1. Insert the fiber optic cable into the SFP module. Ensure that the latch on the cable faces the top of the SFP
module.
2. Slide the cable into place until a connection is made and an audible click is heard.
To disconnect an LC fiber optic cable from an SFP-SX or SFP-LX module:
3. Depress to release the latch on the cable and simultaneously pull the cable out of the port.
SFP Removal
To remove an SFP module:
1. Use standard ESD precautions when removing an SFP module.
2. Open and release the latch on the SFP module.
3. Pull and remove the module from the port.
