Overview

Figure 1–2: UPM card LEDs and connectors

Single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cables attach to UPM cards through small form

factor pluggable (SFP) optic transceivers. The fiber-optic transceivers provide duplex

connectors, and can be detached from UPM cards (through a 10-pin interface) for easy

replacement. Three fiber-optic transceiver types are available.

• Short-wave Laser—Short-wave laser transceivers provide connections for

transferring data over short distances (2 to 500 meters) through 50-µm (500

meters) or 62.5-µm (200 meters) multimode fiber.

NOTE: Hewlett-Packard recommends 50-µm fiber-optic cable for any new installation

requiring multimode fiber.

• Long-wave Laser—Long-wave laser transceivers provide connections for

transferring data over long distances (up to 10 kilometers) through 9-µm

single-mode fiber.
