McAfee M-2850 - SFP Module

SFP module
The SFP module is a hot-swappable, protocol-independent, compact, optical receiver, which allows for greater
port density than the standard GBIC. This module operates at varying speeds for up to 1 Gigabit per second on
Gigabit Ethernet. The SFP module operates in single mode and multimode. Additionally, this module transmits
on an 850-nanometer wavelength on short reach (SR) and 1310-nanometer wavelength on long reach (LR).
