2.3.3.2 Installing an SFP Module
Note: In most cases, SFP modules will come from the factory preinstalled into its
respective slot. The foll
owing steps outline the procedure for replacing or
installing a new SFP module in the –F fiber version of the EQT router.
1. Remove the SFP module from its protective packaging. You can identify if your particular SFP
module is a duplex transmitter or duplex receiver. Observe the top of the SFP module. There
are two triangles on the top of the SFP module. Triangles pointing towards the fiber emitters
denote a duplex transmitter module (output). Triangles that point away from the fiber emitter
denote a duplex receiver module (input).
2. Hold the sides of the SFP module between your thumb and forefinger, position the alignment
grooves on the sides of the SFP with the corresponding guides in the SFP slot on your module.
3. Slide the SFP gently but firmly into the SFP slot. You should hear a click when the clips on
either side of the SFP snap into place, locking the SFP in the port receptacle.
Note: Do not remove the dust plugs from the optical bores of the SFP or the dust
caps from the fiber-optic cable unti
l you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs
and caps protect the SFP optical ports and the cable connectors from
contamination.
2.3.3.3 Removing an SFP module
Note:
It is strongly recommended that you do not install or remove the SFP module
while the fiber-optic cable is attached to it because of the potential damage to the
cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP module.
Disconnect the cable before you remove or install an SFP module.
1. Pull the bale-clasp latch out and down to eject the module. If the latch is obstructed and you are
not able to release the clasp, use a small flat-blade screwdriver or other narrow flat instrument
to open the bale-clasp latch.
2. Grasp the SFP module between your thumb and index finger and carefully remove the SFP
from its slot.
3. Place the removed SFP module into an anti-static bag, or other ESD protective container.
2.3.4. Q-LINK Connections (Coax versions ONLY)
There is one Q-LINK 75Ω termination BNC connectors located on the rear of the EQT, with a second
connector which is a loop through. The EQT supports Evertz control panels that have a Q-Link
connection.
Note: Q-Link is not supported on the –F fiber version of the EQT.
