How to Connect to SFP/SFP+ Fiber Optic Ports
The switch provides slots for SFP+ or SFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers. Note
that all 10G SFP+ fiber optic ports operate at 10 Gbps full duplex. All 1000BASE
fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full duplex.
Note:
The length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link should not exceed
the relevant standards specified in this section. However, power budget constraints
should also be considered when calculating the maximum fiber optic cable length
for a particular link.
Note:
Maximum distances may vary for different SFP/SFP+ vendors.
