Installing SP10TW Direct Connect Twinax Cables in the Switches
The SFP/SFP+ transceiver ports of the switches support SP10TW1 and
SP10TW3 direct connect twinax cables. They come in lengths of 1 and 3
meters, respectively, and have SFP+ transceivers on both ends. The
cables are an economical way to add 10 Gbps connections over short
distances.
To install SP10TW cables in the switch, perform the following procedure:
1. Select a port for the transceiver.
2. Remove the transceiver from its shipping container and store the
packaging material in a safe location.
3. To install the transceiver in a port in the top row, position the
transceiver with the Allied Telesis label facing up. To install the
transceiver in a port in the bottom row, position the transceiver with the
label facing down. Refer to Figure 95.
