Note: The SFP and XFP modules are compliant with the SFP and XFP MSAs, respectively; however, only the approved
1000 Base-TX modules are guaranteed to operate correctly in the 10/100/1000 mode of operation. Contact your ARRIS
Sales or Technical Representative for more information on approved modules.
See the following table for the IEEE specified minimum length limits for the various modules and fiber types.
