McAfee NS Series - Small form-factor pluggable transceiver modules

6
Small form-factor pluggable transceiver
modules
The NS-series Sensors use three types of small form-factor pluggable modules as shown in the following table.
For more information, see McAfee Network Security Platform NS-series Transceiver Modules Reference Guide.
Type Performance
SFP 1 Gbps (copper)
1 Gbps (ber optic)
SFP+ 10 Gbps (ber optic)
QSFP+ 40 Gbps (ber optic)
QSFP28 100 Gbps (ber optic)
Each module is an input/output device that plugs into an LC-type Gigabit Ethernet port, linking the module port
with a copper or ber-optic network. SFP optical interfaces are less than half the size of GBIC interfaces.
To ensure compatibility, McAfee supports only those SFP, SFP+, QSFP+ and QSFP28 modules purchased through
McAfee or from a McAfee-approved vendor. For a list of approved vendors, locate the relevant KnowledgeBase
article at http://mysupport.mcafee.com/Eservice/. Click Search the KnowledgeBase.
These installation instructions provide information for installing SFP, SFP+, QSFP+ and QSFP28 modules that use
a bail clasp for securing the module in place in the Sensor. Your module might be slightly dierent. Check the
module manufacturer's installation instructions for more details. For ease of installation, insert the module in
the Sensor while it is turned o and before placing it on a rack.
To prevent eye damage, do not stare into open laser apertures.
