SFP Unpacking
Before you start installing the TN-SFP-xxx, verify that the package contains the following items:
oOne TN-SFP-xxx
oOne protective foam piece
oOne Documentation Postcard
Notify your sales representative immediately if any of the aforementioned items is missing or damaged. Save the
packaging for possible future use.
SFP Installation
Cautions
The SFP transceiver module is keyed to only be installed one way. However, if forced the wrong way,
damage may occur.
The SFP transceiver module may be damaged if directly connected with short fiber cable without an
attenuator.
Avoid getting dust or other contaminants into the fiber bore of the SFP transceiver module, as this will cause
the optics to not operate properly.
Clean the optic surfacees of the optical fiber before you plug them back in to the optical bores of another SFP
transceiver module. See the Fiber Optic Association, Inc. Cleaning Fiber Optic Connections page on the FOA
website at www.thefoa.org/tech/ref/termination/cleaning.html for more information.
Each port must match the wavelength specifications on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not
exceed the specified cable length for reliable communications.
Note that the NM2-FXS-2230-SFP-01 SFP transceiver is sold separately and also as a part of Transition
Networks’ NM2-FXS-2230-SFP-01 M.2 100-Base-FX Ethernet Fiber NIC. See the NM2-FXS-2230-SFP-01
manual for more information on the SFP bundled with the M.2 NIC.

Installing an SFP Module
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector or a bare metal surface
on your chassis.
2. Remove the SFP transceiver module from its protective packaging. Note: Do not remove the optical bore dust
plugs until directed to do so in a later procedure.
3. Check the slot orientation. Note that for some devices (e.g., S4224) some slots are “upside down” compared
to other slots.
4. Position the SFP device at the desired installation slot, with the label facing correctly.
5. Carefully slide the SFP device into the slot, aligning it with the internal installation guides.
6. Ensure that the SFP device is firmly seated against the internal mating connector. To verify that the SFP is
seated and latched properly:
a) Grasp the SFP by the sides and try to remove it without releasing the latch.
b) If the SFP can not be removed, it is installed and seated properly. If the SFP can be removed, reinsert it
and press harder with your thumb; repeat if necessary until it is latched securely into the socket.
7. Connect the fiber cable to the fiber port connector of the SFP device. Make sure the SFP release latch is in
the up (closed) position when you insert the cable connector into the SFP.
8. Remove the dust plug from the connector. Save the dust plug for future use.
9. Attach an appropriate cable into the SFP module port.
10. Attach the other end of the cable into the other device.
11. Observe the status LED(s). See the related manual for details.

Fiber Cable Physical Characteristics
The fiber cable physical characteristics must meet or exceed IEEE 802.3ae specifications:
Single mode fiber (recommended): 9 μm
Multimode fiber (recommended): 62.5/125 μm
Multimode fiber (optional): 100/140, 85/140, 50/125 μm
MMF Media TN-SFP-GE-100FX: 1310 nm
Warning: Visible and invisible laser radiation when open. DO NOT stare into laser beam or view directly with
optical instruments. Failure to observe this warning could result in damage to your eyes or blindness.
Connecting Fiber Cables
To install the fiber cable, do the following:
1. Locate the appropriate fiber cable.
2. Install the cable as shown below.
Removing an SFP Module
Caution: Be careful when removing the SFP or SFP+ from a device. Some SFP transceiver module
temperatures may exceed 160°F (70°C) and be too hot to touch with bare hands. Note: Do not remove and
replace the SFP modules more often than necessary; excessive SFP removing and replacing can shorten the
SFPs useful life.
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector or a bare metal surface
on your chassis.
2. For future reattachment of fiber-optic cables, note which connector plug is send (TX) and which is receive
(RX).
3. Remove the SFP transceiver module:
a. If the SFP transceiver module has an actuator button latch, gently press the actuator button on the front
of the SFP transceiver module until it clicks and the latch mechanism releases the SFP transceiver module
from the socket connector. Grasp the actuator button between your thumb and index finger, and carefully pull
the SFP transceiver module straight out of the module slot.
b. If the SFP transceiver module has a bail clasp latch, pull the latch out and down to eject the SFP
transceiver module from the socket connector. If the bail clasp latch is obstructed and you cannot use your
index finger to open it, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the bail
clasp latch. Grasp the SFP transceiver module between your thumb and index finger, and carefully remove it
from the socket.
4. Replace the Dust Plug.
5. Place the removed SFP/SFP+ transceiver module in an antistatic bag or other protective package.

Diagnostic Monitoring Interface (DMI)
The following DMI port screen and explanation table contains brief definitions of the DMI support offered on some
SFP Transceiver Modules. For further information, see the help option on the CPSMM-xxx, SNMP agent, or
Transition Networks Focal Point or ION System GUI. Note: This feature is not available on all devices and may
vary between products. See the related manual for specific information.
TN-SFP distances, TX power, RX power, and link budgets can be found on Transition Networks website,
document “SFP/XFP Fiber and Copper Connectors at https://www.transition.com/lines/optical-devices/.
The fiber optic transmitters on this device meet Class I Laser safety requirements per IEC-825/CDRH standards
and comply with 21 CFR1040.10 and 21CFR1040.11.
WARNING: Visible and invisible laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam or view the beam directly
with optical instruments. Failure to observe this warning could result in an eye injury or blindness.
IMPORTANT: Copper based media ports such as Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS422, RS485, DS1,
DS3, Video Coax, etc., are intended to be connected to intra-building (inside plant) link segments that are not
subject to lightening transients or power faults. Copper-based media ports such as Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet,
USB, RS232, RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc., are NOT to be connected to inter-building (outside
plant) link segments that are subject to lightening transients or power faults.
The transceiver must be operated within the specified temperature and voltage limits. The optical ports of the
module must be terminated with an optical connector or with a dust plug.
