Installing SFP/SFP+ Devices
The C4110 lets you install SFP/SFP+ devices of choice to make a fiber connection. The C4110 has two
SFP/SFP+ ports. The C4110 has two ports. The locations of PORT1 and PORT 2 (SFP/SFP+) are shown
below. Note: The S4100 is an “any rate to same rate” device, meaning the two SFPs used must both
support the same data rate. However, two SFPs can support different types of fiber and different
transmission distances.
SFP/SFP+ Optical Transceivers
Transition Networks SFP and SFP+ devices are small form factor, hot-pluggable transceivers which allow
for a single piece of network equipment to be connected to a multitude of interfaces, protocols, and
transmission media via the SFP/SFP+ port. All of Transition’s SFPs and SFP+ devices are compliant with
the Multi-Sourcing Agreement (MSA) ensuring interoperability with all other MSA compliant networking
devices.
The SFP/SFP+ module used defines the fiber length and type that can be supported. Identical SFP/SFP+
modules must be used at each end of the fiber link for each port on this device.
Figure 3: Port Locations and SFP/SFP+ Installation
To install an SFP/SFP+ device in the C4110:
1. Position the SFP/SFP+ device at either installation slot, with the label facing up.
2. Carefully slide the SFP/SFP+ device into the slot, aligning it with the internal installation guides.
3. Ensure that the SFP/SFP+ device is firmly seated against the internal mating connector.
4. Connect the fiber cable to the fiber port connector of the SFP/SFP+ device.
See the TN SFP webpage for the latest SFP information.

Cabling
The C4110 can be used in telecom and enterprise applications where links supporting data rates from
1Gig to 10Gig require fiber extension or where 10Gig links require an interface between two fiber
networks. It performs 3R (re-amplify, re-shape, re-time) signal regeneration. The S4110 is protocol
‘agnostic’, supporting a wide variety of protocols in a network; from 1 to 11.5Gbps, including 10G LAN,
10G WAN, 10G Fiber Channel, SONET OC192, 10G OTN (G.709), 1/2/4/8 Gig Fiber Channel, 1 Gig
Ethernet, or Sonet OC-48. The fiber length and type is defined by the SFP+ module inserted.
Figure 4: C4110-to-S4110 Connection
The figure above shows cabling a C4110 to an S4110. The S4110 cabling procedure is provided below.
1. Locate a fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends. See “Cable
Specifications” on page 15 for details.
2. Connect the fiber cable to the 10GE SFP+ fiber port (Port 2 labeled 10GE SFP+) on the C4110:
•Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX connector.
•Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX connector.
3. Connect the fiber cables to the 10GE fiber port on the other device per the device requirements.

Link Pass Through (LPT) Feature
This function causes loss of link on one side of a media converter to be passed through to the other side,
so that upstream equipment can see fault conditions that would otherwise be hidden by the media
converters.
The LPT feature allows the Device to monitor the Fiber RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. For example,
when the Fiber #1link on the near end device is lost (1), the local Device turns off the fiber transmit on
Fiber #2 (2), thus, “passing through” the link loss. The remote Device disables the Fiber #1 link to the far-
end device (3), which prevents the loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link.
Note that although the link from local fiber #2-Tx to remote #2-Rx is disabled, the link from remote #2-Tx
to local #2-Rx is still alive(4). The LPT process is illustrated in the figure below.

Cable Specifications
The physical characteristics must meet or exceed IEEE 802.3™specifications.
Fiber port: SFP+, both Class-I and Class-II, 10.3125Gbps.
Cable Types
The cabling specifications are provided for reference and troubleshooting purposes.
Fiber (10GbE) Cabling
The two general types of fiber optic cables are SMF (single-mode fiber) and MMF (multi-mode fiber).
SMF has an optical core of approximately 9 μm (microns), and has lower modal dispersion than MMF,
and can support distances of at least 10 Km and as high as 80-100 Km (Kilometers) or more, depending
on transmission speed, transceivers, etc..
MMF has an optical core of either 50 μm or 62.5 μm, and it supports distances up to 600 meters,
depending on transmission speeds and transceivers.
Table 2: Fiber Cable Descriptions
Standard Cable Type Core
Diameter IEEE Standard Distance Wavelength
OM1 Multi-mode (MMF) 62.5/125 μm 33 meters (SR) 850 / 1300 nm
OM2 Multi-mode (MMF) 50/125 μm 82 meters (SR) 850 / 1300 nm
OM3 Multi-mode (MMF) 50/125 μm 300 meters (SR) 850 / 1300 nm
OM4 Multi-mode (MMF) 50/125 μm 550 meters (SR) 850 / 1300 nm
OS1 Single mode (SMF) 9 μm up to 10,000m 1310 / 1550 nm
OS1 SMF optics are used for distances up to 10,000m (6.2 miles) with standard transceivers and can
work at longer distances with special transceivers and switching infrastructure.
The C4110 supports:
10GBase-SR: The most common type of fiber-optic 10GbE cable that supports an SFP+ connector with
an optical transceiver rated for 10Gb transmission speed (also known as “short reach” fiber-optic cables).
10GBase-LR: The the “long reach” fiber optic cables that support single-mode fiber optic cables and
connectors. Provides serialized data at a line rate of 10.3125 Gbit/s.10GBASE-LR has a specified reach
of 10 kilometres (6.2 mi), but 10GBASE-LR optical modules can often manage distances of up to 25
kilometres (16 mi) with no data loss.
10GBase-ER: The "extended reach" port type for single-mode fiber that uses 1550 nm lasers. Its Physical
Coding Sublayer 64b/66b PCS is defined in IEEE 802.3 Clause 49 and its Physical Medium Dependent
PMD in Clause 52. It delivers serialized data at a line rate of 10.3125 Gbit/s.
10GBase-ZR: An 80 km (50 mile) range ER pluggable interface, the 80 km PHY is not specified within
the IEEE 802.3ae standard, and manufacturers have created their own specifications based on the 80 km
PHY described in the OC-192/STM-64 SDH/SONET specifications.
Note: the interface standard used is defined by the fiber module used and is transparent to the x4110.
All other standards are limiting mode (EDC disabled).
Note: the S4110 does not support 10GBase-LX4, 10GBase-CX4, or 10GBase-LRM.

Optical Transport Network (OTN)
The Optical Transport Hierarchy (OTH) is a new transport technology for the Optical Transport Network
(OTN) developed by the ITU. OTH is based on the network architecture defined in ITU G.872
"Architecture for the Optical Transport Network (OTN)".
G.872 defines an architecture that is composed of the Optical Channel (OCh), Optical Multiplex Section
(OMS) and Optical Transmission Section (OTS). G.872then describes the functionality that needed to
make OTN work.
Compared to SONET/SDH, using OTN offers advantages (stronger Forward Error Correction, more levels
of TCM, transparent transport of Client signals, switching scalability) and disadvantages (requires new
hardware and management system).
OTU Type OTU Bit Rate (Nominal)
OTU1 255/238 x 2 488 320 kbit/s
OTU2 255/237 x 9 953 280 kbit/s
OTU3 255/236 x 39 813 120 kbit/s
The OTU bit rate tolerance is ±20 ppm for OTU1, OTU2, and OTU3. The nominal OTUk rates are
approximately 2 666 057.143 kbit/s (OTU1), 10 709 225.316 kbit/s (OTU2) and 43 018 413.559 kbit/s
(OTU3).
See http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-G.709/ for more information.
Fibre Channel (FC)
FC (Fibre Channel) is a high-speed network technology (common rates of 2-, 4-, 8- and 16-Gbps) often
used to connect computer data storage. Fibre Channel is standardized in the T11 Technical Committee of
INCITS (the International Committee for Information Technology Standards) an ANSI standards
committee.
Note: When FC technology was developed, it supported only optical cabling (fiber). Copper cable support
was later added, so the development committee kept the same name but changed to the British spelling
'fibre' for the standard. The American English spelling 'fiber' refers only to optical cabling, so a network
using 'fibre' can be implemented either with copper or optical cabling.
The FC protocol has a range of speeds based on a various underlying transport media. Native FC speed
variants include:
Media Line-rate (GBps) Throughput (full duplex; Mbps)* Availability
1GFC 1.0625 200 1997
2GFC 2.125 400 2001
4GFC 4.25 800 2004
8GFC 8.5 1,600 2005
10GFC 10.52 2,550 2008
Fibre Channel does not follow OSI Layer modeling, but is similarly split into five layers (FC0 - FC4):
FC4: Protocol-mapping layer, in which application protocols, such as SCSI or IP, are encapsulated into a
PDU for delivery to FC2.
FC3: Common services layer, a thin layer that could eventually implement functions like encryption or
RAID redundancy algorithms.

SONET (Synchronous Optical Transport Network)
Synchronous Optical Network, a standard for connecting fiber-optic transmission systems. SONET was
proposed by Bellcore in the middle 1980s and is now an ANSI standard.
SONET defines interface standards at the physical layer of the OSI seven-layer model. The standard
defines a hierarchy of interface rates that allow data streams at different rates to be multiplexed. SONET
establishes Optical Carrier (OC) levels from 51.8 Mbps (OC-1) to 9.95 Gbps (OC-192). The international
equivalent of SONET, standardized by the ITU, is called SDH.
SONET and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) are standardized protocols that transfer multiple digital
bit streams synchronously over optical fiber using lasers or highly coherent light from light-emitting diodes
(LEDs). At low transmission rates data can also be transferred via an electrical interface. The method was
developed to replace the Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) system for transporting large amounts
of telephone calls and data traffic over the same fiber without synchronization problems. SONET generic
criteria are detailed in Telcordia Technologies Generic Requirements document GR-253-CORE.
Both SDH and SONET are widely used today: SONET in the United States and Canada, and SDH in the
rest of the world. Although the SONET standards were developed before SDH, it is considered a variation
of SDH because of SDH's greater worldwide market share. SONET and SDH often use different terms to
describe identical features or functions. This can cause confusion and exaggerate their differences. With
a few exceptions, SDH can be thought of as a superset of SONET.
