SFP:
1000 Base-T
IEEE 802.3 - 1 Gbit/s via Ethernet cable. An Ethernet cable category 5 covers a
maximum distance about 100 meters.
1000 Base-SX
IEEE 802.3 - 1 Gbit/s via fiberglass. Multi-mode fiberglass cables (MMF) cover a
distance of 200 m to 550 m.
1000 Base-LX
IEEE 802.3 - 1 Gbit/s via fiberglass. Here, exclusively singlemode-fiber glass is used.
This transmission option covers approximately 10 km.
SFP+:
10GBase-SR
IEEE 802.3 - 10 Gbit/s via fiberglass. Multi-mode fiberglas cables cover a distance of
up to 400 m.
10GBase-LR
IEEE 802.3 - 10 Gbit/s via fiberglass. Single-mode fiberglas cover a distance of
approximately 10 km
Note: The SFP+ ports of the Sophos FleXi Port modules are dual-rate capable
supporting both 1GbE and 10GbE speeds when using appropriate GBICs also
supporting both rates.
Caution: The SFP GBIC and SFP+ ports use lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic
cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a Class 1 Laser equipment
and are inherently eye-safe in normal operation. However, you should never look
directly at a transmit port when it is powered on. Always install appropriate and UL
approved Laser Class I Transceivers, rated 3.3Vdc, max. 1W, in the fiber ports before
using the fiber ports.
Installing a SFP GBIC module:
Please read the operation manual to the SFP GBIC module. Carefully insert the SFP
GBIC module into the port until it engages. The interface is immediately ready for use.
Removing a SFP GBIC module:
1. Remove the fiberglass cable from the module which you wish to remove.
2. Remove the module carefully from the port.
Depending on when you purchased your SFP GBIC module, it may have any of three
different release mechanisms: a plastic tab on the bottom of the mini-GBIC, a wire
bail, or a plastic collar around the mini-GBIC.
Please read the operation manual to the SFP GBIC module.
