Chapter 3: Safety and equipment care information This chapter contains important safety and regulatory information. Read this section before you install a transceiver. Fiber optic equipment care Use the information in this section to properly maintain and care for fiber optic equipment. Transceivers are static sensitive. Dust contamination can reduce the performance of optical parts in transceivers.
Fiber optic connector care Use the following precautions to avoid damaging the glass fiber: • Do not kink, knot, or vigorously flex the cable. • Do not bend the cable to less than a 40 mm radius. • Do not stand on fiber optic cable; keep the cable off the floor. • Do not pull fiber optic cable harder than you do a cable containing copper wire of comparable size. • Do not allow a static load of more than a few pounds on a section of the cable.
Safety and equipment care information Danger: Risk of eye injury When you inspect a connector, ensure that light sources are off. The light source in fiber optic cables can damage your eyes. • If you suspect only the possibility of dust particles, for example, if you leave a connector uncapped in a clean environment, use high-quality canned air or a reel cleaner, for example, a Cletop, to clean the connector. A reel cleaner is a good choice to ensure that no dust contaminates the connector.
Cleaning duplex connectors To avoid getting debris in your eyes, wear safety glasses when you work with the canned air duster. To avoid eye irritation on contact, wear safety glasses when you work with isopropyl alcohol. Procedure 1. Remove dust or debris by applying canned air to the cylindrical and end-face surfaces of the connector. 2. Gently wipe the cylindrical and end-face surfaces with a tissue dampened with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol. 3.
Safety and equipment care information To avoid getting debris in your eyes, wear safety glasses when you work with the canned air duster. To avoid eye irritation on contact, wear safety glasses when you work with isopropyl alcohol. Procedure 1. Remove or retract the shroud. On removable shroud connectors, hold the shroud on the top and bottom at the letter designation, apply medium pressure, and then pull it free from the connector body. Do not discard the shroud.
Cleaning receptacles Warning: Risk of equipment damage To avoid contamination, only clean optical ports if you see evidence of contamination or reduced performance exists, or during their initial installation. To prevent oil contamination of connectors, use only high-quality canned compressed air. Do not allow the air extension tube to touch the bottom of the optical port. Procedure 1. Remove dust or debris by blowing canned air into the optical port of the device using the canned air extension tube. 2.
Chapter 4: Supported transceiver, BOCs and DACs Supported transceiver, BOCs and DACs information For information on the support (compatibility) of transceiver modules, breakout cables (BOC) and direct access cables (DAC) on VSP switches, see the Website: Supported transceivers, BOCs and DACs. This Website displays only those transceiver modules that are currently supported and available in the price book.
Supported transceiver, BOCs and DACs information QSFP+ support The VSP 4000 does not support 40 Gbps QSFP+ transceivers because the VSP 4000 devices do not have any QSFP+ ports. However, the VSP 4000 Series supports the four SFP+ 10 Gigabit ends of the breakout cable (BOC) assembly. QSFP28 support QSFP28 transceivers are currently supported on the VSP 8404C and VSP 8608 chassis models only. BOC support The following sections detail additional support information on BOCs.
Supported transceiver, BOCs and DACs Figure 2: Passive copper BOC DAC support The following sections detail additional support information on DACs. SFP+ DAC The VSP switches operate in forgiving mode for direct attach cables (DAC) when using third party direct attach cables. Extreme Networks does not provide support for operational issues related to these DACs, but they will operate and the port link will come up.
Chapter 5: Optical routing design Optical routing design The optical routing system uses coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) in a grid of eight optical wavelengths. Use the optical routing system to maximize bandwidth on a single optical fiber. This chapter provides optical routing system information that you can use to help design your network.
Optical routing design The optical routing system supports both ring and point-to-point configurations. The optical routing system includes the following parts: • CWDM SFPs • Optical add/drop multiplexers (OADM) • Optical multiplexer/demultiplexers (OMUX) • Optical shelf to house the multiplexers OADMs drop or add a single wavelength from or to an optical fiber. For the list of supported optical devices for the current release, see Supported optical devices on page 20.
Optical routing design Quad (4-channel) Small Form Factor Pluggable 28 (QSFP28) QSFP28 transceivers are hot-swappable data I/O components that allow 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports to link with other 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports. All branded QSFP28 transceivers use LC connectors and MPO/MTP connectors to provide precision keying and low interface losses. Note: QSFP28 transceivers are currently supported on the VSP 8404C and VSP 8608 chassis models only.
Optical routing design in dB, to cover all effects. Margin is life and design dependent, but is typically 3.5 to 4.5 dB, minimum. Whether you require additional margin depends on the details, such as whether actual or specified transmitter power and receiver sensitivity are used. Extreme Networks specifications represent worst-case values. The sum of margin, dispersion power penalty, and passive cable plant losses must be less than the available power budget.
Chapter 6: SFP This chapter provides installation procedures and specifications for Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. Important: • The VSP switches allow the use of SFP transceivers from any vendor. Extreme Networks does not provide support for operational issues related to SFP transceivers that are not listed in this document as supported transceivers. The switch logs the device as an unsupported or unknown device.
