1.9.2.2 Replace Faulty SFP or XFP Connectors
Small Form-factor Pluggables (SFPs) and 10-Gbps SFPs (called XFPs) are input/output devices that
plug into some transponder and muxponder cards to link the port with the fiber-optic network. The type
of SFP or XFP determines the maximum distance that traffic can travel from the card to the next network
device. For a description of SFPs and XFPs and their capabilities, refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM
Reference Manual. SFPs and XFPs are hot-swappable and can be installed or removed while the card or
shelf assembly is powered and running.
Warning

beams or view directly with optical instruments.
