Installing and Removing SFPs
118 7705 SAR-M Chassis Installation Guide
Bidirectional SFPs
Alcatel-Lucent supports several bidirectional SFPs (see Table 23). The optical interface 
provides single-fiber, bidirectional connectivity operating at 1310 nm and 1490 nm 
wavelengths. One SFP must be installed at the near end and the other SFP must be installed 
at the far end of the link. To achieve connectivity, if the far-end SFP transmits at 1310 nm 
and receives at 1490 nm, the near-end SFP must transmit at 1490 nm and receive at 1310 nm.
T3/E3 SFP
The T3/E3 SFP is used to interconnect two 7705 SARs over a T3 physical interface.The E3 
interface is not supported. The SFP can only operate with 7705 SARs at either end.
The T3/E3 SFP has two DIN 1.0/2.3 screw-on connectors. The SFP is supplied with two 1 m 
adapter cables with a 1.0/2.3 screw-type connector on one end and a female BNC connector 
on the other end. For information on connecting the SFP, refer to the 7705 SAR-8 Chassis 
Installation Guide or the 7705 SAR-18 Chassis Installation Guide.
The T3/E3 SFP is preconfigured with the settings listed in Table 24. These are the default 
settings and they cannot be changed.
