Physical Interfaces
Connect the signal to the corresponding interface on the module. For optical interfaces, make sure to insert the
proper SFP/SFP+/CFP4/QSFP and carefully connect optical fiber cables to the transceiver IN (RX) and OUT
(TX) ports. The FTB-890NGE is shown below as an example for connector location purposes.
