Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that can injure your eyes. Never look into
an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic cables connect to a light
source.
Electrostatic alert:
ESD can damage electronic circuits. Do not touch electronic hardware unless you wear a
grounding wrist strap or other static-dissipating device.
Procedure
1. Disconnect the network fiber optic cable from the SFP connector.
2. Depending on your SFP model, there are different locking mechanisms to release the SFP
transceiver. The following describes the typical mechanism used on SFP transceivers; other
locking and extractor mechanisms exist, although they are not described here.
• Bail latch: Pull the swing-down latch handle to the fully lowered position and hold the
handle to extract the module.
3. Slide the SFP out of the module SFP slot.
If the SFP does not slide easily from the module slot, use a gentle side-to-side rocking
motion while firmly pulling the SFP from the slot.
4. Affix dust covers over the fiber optic bore and connector.
5. Store the SFP in a safe place until needed.
Important:
If you discard the SFP transceiver, dispose of it according to all national laws and
regulations.
SFP specifications
This section provides technical specifications for the supported small form factor pluggable (SFP)
models. Use this information to aid in proper network design.
The specifications in this section meet or exceed those specified in the applicable IEEE standards,
where they exist.
In these specifications, unless otherwise noted, receiver sensitivity is the minimum average input
optical power for which the receiver is guaranteed to meet the bit error rate (BER) of 10-12.
SFP labels
The Avaya label on a typical SFP transceiver contains an Avaya serial number, a bar code, a
manufacturer code, an interface type, and a part number.
