Caution:
Avaya recommends that you use Avaya branded SFP and SFP+ transceivers as they
undergo extensive qualification and testing. Avaya is not responsible for any problems that
arise from using non-Avaya branded SFP and SFP+ transceivers.
Small form factor (SFP) pluggable transceivers
SFPs are hot-swappable input and output enhancement components designed for use with
Avaya products to allow gigabit Ethernet ports to link with other gigabit Ethernet ports over
various media types.
You can use various SFP (1Gb/s) and SFP+ (10Gb/s) to attain different line rates and reaches.
The following table describes the SFPs including the reach provided by various SFPs.
This table is informational only—not all Avaya Ethernet switching and routing products support
all the SFPs listed here.
For more information about SFP and SFP+ transceivers, including technical specifications and
installation instructions, see Installing Transceivers and Optical components on the Avaya
Virtual Services Platform 4000, NN46251-301.
Important:
The attainable cable length can vary depending on the quality of the fiber optic cable
used.
