Note
For a list of supported transceivers, refer to the product data sheet
on the Allied Telesis web site.
 The operational specifications and fiber optic cable requirements
of the transceivers are provided in the documents included with the
devices.
 Install a transceiver before connecting the fiber optic cable.
 Fiber optic transceivers are dust sensitive. Always keep the plug in
the optical bores when a fiber optic cable is not installed, or when
you store the transceiver. When you do remove the plug, keep it
for future use.
 Unnecessary removal and insertion of a transceiver can lead to
premature failure.
